Man Utd chief Woodward offered jet to reporter in Stockholm after family involved in terror attack

Manchester United chief exec Ed Woodward acted quickly when learning one media rep's family had been caught up in the Manchester bombing.

The Daily Mail reports when Woodward discovered the 11-year-old daughter of one of the United press pack had been caught up in the suicide bomb atrocity, he offered any support the family needed.

This included a seat on the United team flight back from the Europa League final in Stockholm so that dad could get home quicker.

United and Manchester City have this week donated £1 million to the victims of the terror attack.
