In a recent meeting with the supporter’s representative, Ed Woodward stated that he is content with the development of the team under OIe Gunnar Solskjaer. ‘We recognise there's more hard work ahead to achieve the consistency needed to win trophies, But we see positive signs on the pitch and the training ground that reinforce our belief in the progress being made by Ole, his coaching team and the players’ said the 49-year-old to the forum.

‘With the additions, we made during the summer taking our total net spending to over €200m since summer 2019 – more than any other major European club over that period. We will continue to support Ole with a planned, long-term approach to recruitment, focused on the summer windows’ Woodward added.
