On Wednesday night Ed Woodward discovered another problem with the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjær as Manchester United’s manager. “[Woodward]’s a guy that absolutely loves Manchester United,” Ashton said last week. He earns a reported £3.15m a year, and possesses 539,000 Class A shares in Manchester United plc, valued at $10.8m, on which he receives healthy dividends. Solskjær, as his full-time appointment was confirmed last March, was the “right person to take Manchester United forward”. As with Solskjær’s failings and the whims of the Glazers, it puts him in the centre of the Manchester United storm.
