Super League plans 'worst case of bullying', says ex-Manchester United midfielder Butt

Former Manchester United star Nicky Butt says that the recent Super League plans were a demonstration of "the worst case of bullying".

Man Utd were among 12 teams confirmed to be part of the breakaway league, which fell apart after each of the six English clubs involved pulled out amid overwhelming backlash.

Ed Woodward, Man Utd's executive vice-chairman, has since resigned and will step down at the end of the year, while co-chairman Joel Glazer penned an open letter to supporters where he admitted that the club got it wrong over the Super League proposals.
