In a brief statement on Tuesday night, they confirmed the decision, without citing a reason for doing so.

“Manchester City can confirm that it has formally enacted the procedures to withdraw from the group developing plans for a European Super League,” read a City press release.

UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin has praised the decision from the current Premier League leaders and has ‘welcomed them back to the European football family’.

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin says “I am delighted to welcome City back to the European football family ... “City are a real asset for the game and I am delighted to be working with them for a better future for the European game.”
