Ed Woodward will be standing down as Manchester United's executive vice-chairman at the end of 2021, according to reports tonight.

Woodward, who controls the day-to-day running of United, has received criticism for the club's failure to win a Premier League title since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
