The television crews were back outside Ed Woodward’s house in London on Wednesday. Not in Washington DC or New Orleans, home to Manchester United’s co-chairmen Joel and Avram Glazer.
As the fallout from the grotesque European Super League rained down on the six English clubs involved, Woodward was the one putting on a tin hat at United, having already announced he will stand down as executive vice-chairman at the end of the year.
Many will argue Woodward deserves the flak. He was a key figure in the failed breakaway league and one of the ‘snakes’ called out by UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin.
