Football fans have begun protests outside stadia as the angry reaction to plans for a European Super League continued on Monday.
Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham on Sunday joined six other European clubs in announcing plans for a new midweek competition which could effectively lead to a ‘closed shop’ for the super clubs.
If the clubs involved had hoped that making their move at a time when games remain behind closed doors would prevent protests, they did not get their wish.
At Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium, fans displayed a banner reading “Created by the poor, stolen by the rich”.
