Ex-Man Utd chief Ed Woodward approached over role in takeover bid as Glazers eye sale

Former Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has been contacted by multiple groups interested in buying the Red Devils with a view to act as a consultant for their potential takeover bids.

Having stood down from his role within the Old Trafford hierarchy in February of this year, Woodward is certainly available. The ex-JP Morgan banker was actually originally retained in an advisory role at the club, but no longer boasts any kind of contract tying him to the club - who could be up for sale soon.

With 17 years of service at United under his belt, Woodward would be able to offer an invaluable insight to potential buyers - especially given he maintains a stellar working relationship with current owners the Glazer family to date.
