Enjoy this moment, Ed.
While your job primarily consists of signing lucrative sponsorship deals, boosting the club’s brand image and keep making dough for the Glazers, it must be nice to get some praise from Manchester United’s considerable fan base along the way.
After all, if the club wins a trophy next season, no-one’s going to say: “What a great performance by Ed Woodward”. However, today is your big moment, Ed.
United confirmed the signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin today, after already securing a deal for Matteo Darmian over the weekend, and Memphis Depay back in May.
And the club’s fans took to Twitter to shower praise on Untied’s executive vice-chairman Woodward for masterminding the transfers.
Some fans were so happy with Ed, they wanted either a revolution in England, and an end to the monarchy, or for Woodward himself to take the throne.
Ed Woodward for President!

And could even be the subject of a transfer bid himself.
At this rate, clubs will start bidding for Man Utd CEO Ed Woodward.
