FIFA president Gianni Infantino has been criticised by his old boss Michel Platini, who says the Swiss has “always been a fan of rich and powerful people”.

Infantino, who has forged a close relationship with United States President Donald Trump heading into this summer’s World Cup finals in North America, served as general secretary at UEFA during Platini’s presidency.
