Joel Glazer was ‘so upset’ by Ed Woodward’s Manchester United resignation

Manchester United co-owner Joel Glazer was ‘so upset’ by Ed Woodward’s resignation, according to Football Insider.

United confirmed last week that Woodward would leave his role as the club’s executive vice-chairman at the end of 2021, with reports claiming it was due to a difference of opinion regarding the European Super League (ESL).

However, a Premier League chief executive told Sky Sports that Woodward had been involved in the ESL plans ‘from day one’.

While Woodward’s departure was met by celebrations from United fans, Football Insider columnist Kieran Maguire has claimed co-owner Glazer was unhappy with the news.
