MANCHESTER UNITED EXECUTIVE ED WOODWARD'S HOME ATTACKED Ciaran Bradley
11:50 28 Jan 2020
@ciaranbrad
THE HOME OF MANCHESTER UNITED EXECUTIVE VICE-CHAIRMAN ED WOODWARD WAS ATTACKED ON TUESDAY EVENING, OSTENSIBLY BY DISGRUNTLED SUPPORTERS OF THE CLUB.
A video was posted to social media sites this evening, depicting a red flare being thrown over Woodward's front gate by a group of people, alongside chanting that Woodward was "going to die." The Manchester United was not at home, nor does it appear that his two children or wife were present also. WOODWARD HOME ATTACKED Manchester United issued a statement on Tuesday night, condemning the attack.
"Fans expressing opinion is one thing, criminal damage and intent to endanger life is another. There is simply no excuse for this," read the statement.
"We know that the football world will unite behind us as we work with Greater Manchester Police to identify the perpetrators of this unwarranted attack.
"Fans expressing opinion is one thing, criminal damage and intent to endanger life is another. There is simply no excuse for this. "We know that the football world will unite behind us as we work with Greater Manchester Police to identify the perpetrators of this unwarranted attack." The club also made clear that anyone found criminally responsible for the attack will be banned for life from Old Trafford. Woodward has been under significant scrutiny from United supporters over recent years, attracting ire for the club's downturn in form and perceived sluggish transfer activity. The incident represents a significant change of pace in the displeasure with Woodward, which has been contained to Manchester United's showings at Old Trafford. The situation will be investigated by Greater Manchester Police at the request of the club. United play Manchester City in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday night. Meanwhile, it appears that United are close to signing Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes, for a fee of around 55m euro.
