Despite being English football's two most successful clubs, both Manchester United and Liverpool won't be hosting any matches if the UK and Ireland win their bid for Euro 2028.
As the campaign was officially unveiled on Wednesday, a shortlist of 10 proposed stadiums was announced which omitted the famous Old Trafford and iconic Anfield, bemusing fans who'd expected their inclusion when the bid was first being developed.
On the contrary and only adding to the debate, United and Liverpool's arch rivals will in fact be hosting matches throughout the tournament if the UK and Ireland are successful. Manchester City and Everton would each be given the privilege of welcoming European football's star names in the summer of 2028, despite their smaller status in world football compared to their neighbours'.
