Man Utd hold Woodward talks following home attack

Manchester United have reportedly held talks to improve Ed Woodward’s security after continued protests against the 48-year-old.

He recently had his Cheshire home come under attack from disgruntled supporters, who bombarded the property with flares and vandalised his gates.

Manchester United have drifted as a giant of football since Woodward replaced David Gill as vice-chairman in 2013.

In that time United have won the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Europa League – but have got nowhere near the Premier League.

Fortunately, Woodward and his family were absent at the time of the attack.

And ESPN claim United have devised a plan to up the 48-year-old’s security in order to protect him.

The fans have also made their anger known on the terraces, throwing abuse at both Woodward and the club’s owners, the Glazer family.

And United are keen to take action to ensure that Woodward remains safe.
