In a statement published on his Twitter account today, the former Manchester United midfielder expressed his personal grievances with the prospect of a so-call Super League.

“I fell in love with popular football, with the football of the fans, with the dream of seeing the team of my heart compete against the greatest.”

“If this European Super League advances, those dreams are over, the illusions of the fans of the teams that are not giants of being able to win on the field competing in the best competitions will end.”

“I love football and I cannot remain silent about this, I believe in an improved Champions League, but not in the rick stealing what the people created, which is nothing other than the most beautiful sport on the planet.”

Incidentally, more players need to come out and voice their opinions against the formation of such a league like Herrera. Earlier Jose Mourinho was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur, one of the 12 members of the Super League as Mourinho reportedly did not want his side to join the competition.

UEFA have announced that any player who takes part in the proposed Super League would be suspended from playing any UEFA and FIFA recognised competitions in the future including playing for their National teams.
