At least Ed Woodward apologised. And at least he turned up to the fans’ forum on Friday to hear what Manchester United supporters had to say about him and the club’s craven involvement in the European Super League. None of it was complimentary but Woodward was there to listen to it. Which is more than can be said for Joel Glazer or any of the family that own England’s most famous club.
There will not be any fans inside Old Trafford on Sunday when United take on Liverpool in the Premier League but there will be plenty outside.
