Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is
against the formation of a breakaway
European super league.
Speculation regarding a new league came after a
meeting of officials from United and top-flight
rivals Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester
City.
But Van Gaal has voiced his opposition, adding
that the Champions League should revert to
include only title winners.
"Everybody knows, when you follow my career,
that I am against all the super leagues and things
like that," he said.
On the subject of the Champions League, he said:
"It has to be between champions in my opinion. I
said that 20 years ago and I say it now again.
"I think sport is to win, not to be second or third."
Van Gaal won the Champions League as Ajax
manager in 1995, two seasons before the
tournament was expended to allow the runners-
up from eight domestic leagues to participate.
England - along with Germany and Spain - now
have four teams qualifying for the competition
every season based on league position.
