MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani has said all Premier League clubs need to come together to defend the competition from the threat of a breakaway European Super League.

Last week FIFA and UEFA issued a joint statement warning that anyone who played in a breakaway league would be banned from international competitions like the World Cup.
