FIFA president Gianni Infantino has come out to say that teams across Europe agree that the Club World Cup has been a success. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, despite the tournament being criticized for its expansions and added matches, participating teams have been praising FIFA for expanding the tournament.
Gianni added that while he would have loved teams like MUFC, Barcelona and Liverpool at the competition, the current qualifying system had to be respected.
His words, “I’ve been speaking to teams from Europe who came here and all have been very happy.
And some teams from Europe who didn’t qualify called us at FIFA and asked if they could participate.
Of course [we] would love Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham, AC Milan, and Barcelona here, but there is a qualifying criteria. We will see what the future will bring us. We will make this better, we have had criticisms, and we must do better.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
