Former Man United chief Ed Woodward lands new job in football - over two YEARS after he left Old Trafford

Ed Woodward has landed a new job in football over two years after leaving Manchester United.

The former United CEO was an unpopular figure during his decade-long spell working for the club.

Fans often criticised his decisions over player recruitment and accusing him of prioritising the club's commercial performance over its success on the pitch.

The club failed to win any league titles beyond 2013 during his tenure and indeed still haven't. He left in February 2022.

Woodward, 52, has picked up a variety of roles since finishing in Manchester but has finally found another job in football.

While he has found work with an AI sports firm and an esports company, this job is much more rooted in football.

That's because Woodward has been unveiled as a trustee for the Bloomsbury Football Foundation.

The Bloomsbury Football Foundation was set up in 2018 and aims to give kids from all backgrounds access to football.

It claims to work with more than 5,000 children per week, offer bursaries, and hope to improve the physical and mental ehalth of the youngsters under their wing.

Woodward said: 'I am thrilled to be joining Bloomsbury Football Foundation as a Trustee. This is an exciting opportunity to join a charity that is already having a significant impact on the lives of young Londoners using the power of football.

'Visiting a Bloomsbury Football session reaffirmed my belief that football has the power to change lives.

'It is clear the support the charity is already receiving is making a real impact on the pitch. The session represented the diversity of London – the coaches were supportive, players were engaged, and they seemed to be enjoying every minute.'
