EXCLUSIVE: Angry Manchester United players hold emergency briefing with Ed Woodward with Red Devils players 'seriously unimpressed' with finding out about the European Super League via the media and not the club

Ed Woodward held an emergency briefing with ‘seriously unimpressed’ Manchester United players at Carrington this morning.

Sportsmail understands that some members of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad were angered after they found out about the breakaway European Super League – and their own employer’s central role in it – via the media yesterday.

Insiders have disclosed that some also felt Solskjaer was thrown under the bus when left to face questions from Sky after the story had broken during their 3-1 victory over Burnley yesterday.
