Ed Woodward has resigned as Man Utd vice-chairman.
The announcement of his decision comes on a seismic evening in football, with the European Super League coming crashing down around its founding members. United, along with their fellow Premier League ‘Big Six’ clubs and six other sides, were one of the clubs to establish the controversial breakaway competition.
Woodward was not given a role in the European Super League but he is believed to have played a key role in the build up to its announcement on Sunday.
United sources were keen to stress to Mirror Football that Woodward’s decision was not down to the Super League and that he had indeed been planning to exit at the end of the year all along.
