Woodward: Honour to be Man Utd vice-chairman

Ed Woodward says it's an "honour" to be Manchester United executive vice-chairman.

Woodward is aiming to ensure the club continues to flourish on and off the pitch.

He told MUTV: "It's a huge honour to be in this role. This is the biggest sports team in the world, not just the biggest football team. So by definition it's a massive job and I'm loving it," he declared. "Every day is different, which is the fantastic thing about this job. You can't switch off at all - it's all-consuming but I love it. It's addictive.

"I can't say there isn't pressure - that's what you'd expect. The pressure comes from lots of different directions but I'm thriving on it. I'm a very competitive individual and the pressure is driven away by my competitiveness and focusing on us winning."
