The Premier League trio along with Manchester City and Liverpool, are said to be part of 11-side cartel plotting to quit the Champions League and go it alone by forming their own competition in 2021.
Football Leaks has published what they allege is a legal draft which lists the five English clubs as "Founders" in the new competition.
They claim it is due to be signed this month – and reveal alarming allegations about plans to change the face of European and domestic club football as we know it.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are the other sides who are listed as "founders".
Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Marseille, Inter Milan and Roma are also mentioned in the papers as "initial guests".
A series of documents have today been published by Football Leaks, which has been behind a series of high profile contract revelations over the past few years.
German title Speigel has seen all the paperwork, and even claims that two years Bayern Munich sought legal advice on quitting the Bundesiliga.
They suggest the German giants appointed lawyers to look into how they would break free from their domestic league in order to go it alone in Europe.
It is also alleged that at the time they were working alongside six other European clubs, with United and Arsenal among them.
