United’s executive vice-chairman discussed the club’s response to the crisis - and its impact on football - in an address to the quarterly Fans’ Forum on Friday. With the lockdown in place, the meeting was held remotely via conference call for the first time.
Speaking on the call, Woodward said: “I’d like to reinforce that our thoughts are with everyone affected by the pandemic, and especially those who have lost people close to them. Our top priority has been doing what is necessary to help slow the spread of the virus, and that will remain our guiding principle.
