Manchester United chief Ed Woodward has broken the club's silence on Project Big Picture.

The hugely contentious proposals were blown out of the water at a top flight meeting last week, but Woodward has vowed to press ahead.

In a statement released alongside the club's annual figures, the United executive vice chairman said: "Our focus remains on protecting the health of our colleagues, fans and community while adapting to the significant economic ramifications of the pandemic.

"Within that context, our top priority is to get fans back into the stadium safely and as soon as possible. We are also committed to playing a constructive role in helping the wider football pyramid through this period of adversity, while exploring options for making the English game stronger and more sustainable in the long-term.

"This requires strategic vision and leadership from all stakeholders, and we look forward to helping drive forward that process in a timely manner."

United have extended their expiring shirt sponsorship with Chevrolet by six months, which is expected to net them an extra £11m. However, they announced a £23.2m loss for last season, which was also impacted 41.9 per cent drop in broadcasting income.
