Manchester United Legend Gary Neville Rips New Super League: 'It's an Absolute Disgrace'

Sunday's announcement of the formation of a new European super league—comprised of some of the world's biggest clubs and designed to rival the UEFA Champions League—was met with contention from the wider soccer world.

Among the most vocal dissenters? Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville.

Neville, who spent two decades with the club and won eight Premier League titles, expressed his disgust with the new league while speaking with Sky Sports on Sunday, aiming his ire at Manchester United and Liverpool in particular.

“The reaction to it is that it’s been damned, and rightly so,” Neville said.
