In January 2020, former United CEO Ed Woodward came under attacks from thugs, who threw flares at his home as the protests against the Glazer ownership at Old Trafford took place

Woodward, 48, his wife, and their young twins were not at home when the thugs descended on the property, throwing lit flares into the grounds.
