McGrath joins another Irish footballing legend in condemning the Super League, as Roy Keane called it out on TV on Sunday.
"I think it comes down to money and greed," he said.
"Obviously we've heard nothing from FIFA yet but it doesn’t sound good. Let’s hope it’s stopped in its tracks.
"We talk about the big clubs. Bayern Munich are one of the biggest clubs in the world – at least they’ve made a stand, which is a good start."
"Let's hope it is stopped in its tracks. It's just pure greed."
Meanwhile, Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes has seemingly come out against the Super League, reposting a message from his Portuguese teammate Daniel Podence.
Podence wrote: "The Ball. The Song. The Dream. The Zidane volley... Kaka’s Solo... Liverpool In Athens... Ole in Barcelona... Cris and Seedorf. There some things we just can’t really pay for."
