'A lot of clubs with great history could be lost' - Ferguson dismisses global Super League plans

The legendary manager can't see why clubs from England would be interested in the proposed competition

Sir Alex Ferguson fears the extinction of 'great' English clubs if the Premier League's giants join FIFA's global Super League.

The governing body is currently in discussions about the new competition - which would see clubs leave their domestic leagues to participate.

Ferguson - who managed Manchester United to 38 trophies during a 26-year stint - believes a Super League isn't an attractive option to Premier League clubs and warned that smaller teams could be forced out of the game if the new competition is implemented.
