Shares in Juventus plunged by more than 10 per cent on Wednesday, following in the footsteps of Manchester United after their Super League project with some of Europe's top football clubs collapsed.

The Italian club's shares had reached their highest level since September on the announcement of the project, at 0.911 euros on Monday, but fell as all six English clubs withdrew following a furious backlash from fans and football authorities.

After a fall of some 4.23 percent on Tuesday, at around 0800 GMT on Wednesday the price was down a further 10.77 percent to 0.779 euros on the Milan stock market. Manchester United shares fell on Tuesday in New York, dropping six per cent and erasing most of the previous day's gains.
