'There will be even more of a push towards breakaway leagues': Darren Fletcher fears coronavirus turmoil will lead to European Super League

Darren Fletcher believes the chaos from the coronavirus could lead to a big push for a European Super League.

The virus has halted all of the major European top flights as well as UEFA's Champions League and Europa League, causing turmoil over whether the existing campaigns will be continued or scrapped.

The Premier League is officially postponed until April 4 but this is likely to be suspended to a later date as the pandemic continues to grow worse by the day in Europe.
