Ed Woodward branded a "disgrace" by Man Utd dressing room for handling of player exit

Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Manchester United 's dressing room thought Ed Woodward was a “disgrace” for how his exit from the club was handled.

The former Red Devils executive vice-chairman has exited the club after nine years in the role and a total of 16 years at Old Trafford. Woodward was an unpopular figure among the majority of the club’s fans due to the sharp downturn in results during his tenure, while Ferdinand has explained he did not find much support in the dressing room either.

Ferdinand was told in the immediate aftermath of the final match of the 2013-14 campaign that his contract would not be renewed at Old Trafford, bringing an end to his 12-year stay at the club.
