Manchester United and Chelsea are among several clubs who have moved to distance themselves from Liverpool's proposal to break from the Premier League's model of collecting television rights revenue.
It is understood that Manchester United, who claim to have 333m fans globally and have targeted overseas sponsorship revenue as a route to increase income, will oppose any moves to challenge the status quo under which the Premier League sells television rights overseas on behalf of all 20 elite clubs.
A spokesman for Chelsea said: "We are supportive of the Premier League on this and want to continue with the way they sell [TV rights] collectively."

The public stance of other big clubs will come as a disappointment to Liverpool, who were understood to believe that others would support them.

United not going with it ends any hope of it actually happening for Liverpool, they need 13 clubs to agree and the only hope of it going through was basically the top 13 clubs agreeing because it wouldn't work out better for lower clubs
Arsenal, Man City, and Spurs also said they want nothing to do with it
Liverpool just end up looking really greedy here
