David Beckham condemns European Super League
Former England captain David Beckham has become the latest star to hit out at the formation of a European Super League.
The Premier League's so-called Big Six of Manchester United, City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs are founding members of the controversial new breakaway tournament that would replace their European commitments with UEFA, such as the Champions League.
The news has sparked outrage within the football world and now Manchester United and England legend Beckham has condemned the plan.
He posted on Instagram that football was 'nothing without the fans' and that the game should be 'for everyone' and competitions 'based on merit'.
