Manchester United legend Paul Scholes feels chief executive Ed Woodward is yet to prove himself in the job. Woodward has endured a rocky first year since assuming his current position, with the ill-fated appointment of David Moyes as manager, some frustrating summer transfer experiences and the team's disappointing on-field results.
Scholes, in his column for the Paddy Power Blog, wrote: "David Moyes took a lot of stick, but I believe he's a top manager. I'd question if 10 months was enough time.
"Edward Woodward has an awful lot to prove this time that he's good enough at his job. He has to bring the players in that the new manager wants.
"It's obvious that last year he didn't manage to do that. If he doesn't we are not going to get anywhere near the top."
