Before the European Super League began to collapse and Ed Woodward resigned from Manchester United, Luke Shaw spoke out against the widely condemned breakaway competition.
The left-back joined Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford in voicing his discontent as he admitted he is worried that the Super League could 'impact the sport I and millions of others love.'
The football world was plunged into chaos this week after United, along with 11 more of Europe's 'leading clubs', announced their plans to form a break away Super League.
However, Premier League sides Manchester City and Chelsea have since backed out of the agreement, with more clubs likely to follow, leaving the Super League in tatters less than 48 hours after its creation.
United are yet to comment on where they stand but Shaw penned a heartfelt statement denouncing the proposed league.
"Not a minute has passed when I haven't thought about the current situation," he wrote. "I wondered how I could express my opinion without causing any issues for me club, which everyone knows I care about deeply.
"I grew up watching the Premier League and Champions League and fell in love with the sport watching, what in my opinion are, the two biggest competitions in the world.
"My ambition was to one day be able to play in these competitions and part of this determination was to show that with hard work anyone can achieve these dreams and play on the highest stages.
"There is so much passion around the world for football and I have been privileged to experience that first-hand, however I worry that these changes could impact the sport I and millions of others love.
"We've been without supporters in stadiums for over a year now and I know how much myself and the team have missed them in each and every game, fans and players should always have a voice and their opinion should always be counted."
