Manchester United chairman Ed Woodward has expressed shock and dismay at the recent terrorist attack in the city of Manchester.

A suicide-bomb explosion at an Ariana Grande pop concert at Manchester Arena on Monday evening caused at least 22 deaths and 120 injuries.

Woodward said: "Words don't really do justice for how we all feel. We're numb. The events were sickening and all our thoughts at the moment are with the victims and the families affected by it. It was very sombre flying over with the directors this morning and it was all we were talking about, to be honest. We've met with UEFA and sat with them and gone through different things we can do around the game, and they accepted we can wear black armbands and have a minute's silence for the victims."

When asked if the recent events will have any impact on the club's preparations for the upcoming Europa League final, Woodward reminded that everyone's thoughts should be with victims and their families at the moment.

He added: "We've got a job to do tomorrow, no question about that, and that hasn't been changed but I think what happened last night really put things into perspective. Success on the pitch really is nothing compared to the pain and suffering going on back home, that is really where our thoughts are at this point in time."
