Ed Woodward stepped down from his position as executive vice-chairman of Manchester United in February.
Woodward spent 16 years at Old Trafford and there can be no objections to stating his premiership as executive vice-chairman - that role made him the most powerful figure at the club that wasn't a member of the Glazer family - was a colossus disaster.
It was little wonder the Bristol University graduate's exit was celebrated earlier this year. Woodward's exit was symbolic, but supporters were sent a painful reminder of the reality of his tenure on Tuesday afternoon when Manchester City announced the signing of Erling Haaland for just £51million for Borussia Dortmund. It showed Woodward's mistakes are still haunting United.
