Solksjaer: Woodward’s replacement will be selected based on merit

Solskjaer trusts Manchester United should recruit Woodward’s substitution depending on their merit and the person’s interest in United’s development.

As indicated by the Express, Manchester United chief, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given his decision in the club’s quest for the next Executive vice-chairman.

He said: “We can’t employ on sentiment, but to have Man Utd’s best interests at heart, that’s one of the criteria of course. I’ve not been involved in discussions over a successor but if they ask my opinion and it comes to that, I’ll voice my opinion on what we need. I’m not the one who writes the job description, so of course, my job now is to take care of results, but whoever comes in I’m hopeful I can have a good working relationship with and I can provide results. I think the owners of every club that signed up for this proposal have got a job on their hands, of course, they have. We’ve had an apology from Joel and I think that’s important.”

The club’s executive has been in a tough situation since supplanting David Gill in 2012. His acquiescence comes in the wake of United’s tremendously censured support in the European Super League.

Various potential substitutions have been promoted including previous United star Edwin van der Sar and Richard Arnold, a critical partner of Woodward at the club. Solskjaer accepts the position ought to be filled dependent on merit and not their associations with the club.

The Norwegian conceded that he has not yet been aware of conversations with respect to Woodward’s resignation. He is prepared to put his point across on the off chance that he is called upon to do as such. Current protests are ongoing outside Old Trafford and plans are set up to increase protests next week as well. United will soon decide about the future of their hierarchy.

Woodward leaves behind a standing that is blended. While his business activities have borne natural product, his part in bringing in players came up short. We all hope that his substitution will bring new development and help United prosper to great heights both on and off the field.
