Manchester United players branded Ed Woodward ‘a disgrace’ over Rio Ferdinand exit

Rio Ferdinand has revealed Manchester United's players considered Ed Woodward a disgrace for the handling of his exit from the club.

Woodward left his position as United's executive vice-chairman in April. The Bristol University graduate spent a total of 16 years at Old Trafford and was a hugely unpopular figure during that period.

Richard Arnold succeeded Woodward and he was appointed United's chief executive after spending nine years as group managing director. Arnold is friends with Woodward and he also graduated from Bristol University, but he'll be hoping his reign is more successful than his predecessor's. United fans have no fond memories of Woodward's time at the club.
