(Reuters) -Major clubs and leagues across Europe rejected the Super League in favour of the status quo following Thursday's EU court verdict which said UEFA and FIFA contravened EU law by preventing the formation of a Super League.

Manchester United were one of the first to say they remain committed to playing in competitions run by Europe's soccer governing body UEFA, as did German giants Bayern Munich.
