Ed Woodward will wave goodbye to Manchester United at the end of this month having pocketed a remarkable final salary from the club.
Woodward is due to step down as United’s executive vice-chairman on February 1, bringing to an end a nine-year spell in the role.
The 50-year-old helped advise the Glazer family on their successful takeover of the Premier League club in 2005 and has been in his current role since succeeding David Gill in May 2013.
