Former Manchester United star David Beckham has stated he is against the idea of a European Super League.
This comes after Liverpool agree to be one of 12 founding members of the competition, which has caused a significant backlash.
Liverpool are one of six English clubs to agree to the plans, along with Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham.
The proposals have been widely criticised, with Jurgen Klopp reaffirming his views on Monday night that he does not agree with the concept of a Super League.
Beckham is currently part-owner and president of Major League Soccer outfit Inter Miami, and has stated how the view of the fans is most important to him.
“I’m someone who loves football,” Beckham wrote on Instagram. “It has been my life for as long as I can remember.
“I loved it from when I was a young child as a fan, and I’m still a fan now.
“As a player and now as an owner I know that our sport is nothing without the fans.
“We need football to be for everyone. We need football to be fair and we need competitions based on merit.
“Unless we protect these values the game we love is in danger…”
Along with the six English clubs, La Liga trio Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid, as well as Italian sides Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan have also signed up.
There are currently three proposed spots for founding members, although Bayern Munich, PSG and Borussia Dortmund, teams expected to fill them, have publicly stated they are against the idea.
