Manchester United have no plans to break away from the Premier League and are confident they can continue to compete domestically despite the proposal to form a Super League.
Plans for the tournament were officially unveiled late on Sunday evening and have been widely condemned by the vast majority of football authorities and fans.
The Premier League has threatened to expel their six participating teams, United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham, should they push ahead with these plans but it is understood that the Red Devils remain confident of keeping their place within the league despite the threats.
