Angry Fans Attack Manchester United Chief's Home, Club Responds

Angry Fans Attack Manchester United Chief's Home, Club Responds

With supporters unhappy at the current state of Manchester United, angry fans attacked the house of executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward on Tuesday night, and the club have since released a statement in response to the incident.  

Reports: Man Utd Make Shock Sanchez Decision

A video of supporters throwing objects over Woodward's gate has done the rounds of social media, with some of the furious mob also reportedly spraying his fence with graffiti.

It is said that neither the executive vice-chairman nor his family were home at the time of the attack, with the club releasing a statement hours later to condemn the incident.

"Manchester United Football Club have tonight been made aware of the incident outside the home of one of our employees," the club wrote on their official website.

"We know that the football world will unite behind us as we work with Greater Manchester Police to identify the perpetrators of this unwarranted attack. Anybody found guilty of a criminal offence, or found to be trespassing on this property, will be banned for life and may face prosecution.

"Fans expressing opinion is one thing, criminal damage and intent to endanger life is another. There is simply no excuse for this."

While the attack of Woodward's property is unjustified, Red Devil supporters have begun to express their anger at the way in which the club has been run in recent years.

Anti-Woodward and Glazer chants have been heard at matches over the last few weeks, including in their 6-0 FA Cup win over Tranmere this past weekend, with many supporters blaming the 48-year-old executive and United's owners for the club's struggles.
