Premier League chief says Fifa self-destructed over World Cup plan

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has criticised FIFA president Gianni Infantino's World Cup sell-off plan, saying the organisation has "pressed the self-destruct button" by delivering "a self-inflicted wound".

The English Football Association is one of a number of organisations who have withdrawn their support for Infantino - who is scheduled to stand for a fourth term as president in March - a position backed by the Premier League.

In it, Masters also said: The Premier League backs the FA's decision to withdraw support for Infantino and that a "unity candidate" for Fifa president is needed.
