Manchester United are ready to offer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a new contract, according to reports.
The Norwegian has just a year left on his current deal and United are keen to reward him with a new deal, according to the Daily Mirror.
Solskjaer is set to earn a pay rise, with his new contract said to be worth £9m per week.
Having now overseen those appointments, Woodward will turn his attention to Solskjaer’s future.
As well as an improvement in results, the United hierarchy have been impressed with Solskaer’s blooding of young players and attacking style of play.
"There is much to be excited about on the pitch as Ole and the team head into the new year competing strongly in the Premier League and with three cups still to pursue,” Woodward said at the end of 2020.
"There are many positive statistics like these showing the progress made under Ole in the past year.
“But they tell only part of the story. Just as important is the work we see being done behind the scenes to build a winning culture consistent with the club’s traditions of attacking football played by youthful, hard-working teams fusing homegrown talent with top-class recruits.
"We are getting closer to those objectives as the squad continues to develop following the arrivals of Bruno Fernandes, Donny van de Beek, Alex Telles and Edinson Cavani.
“Our ongoing investment reflects the tremendous resilience of the club and our commitment to supporting Ole, while remaining disciplined at an extremely challenging time.”
