# Manchester United: Fans launch attack on Ed Woodward following Twitter post

**Responding to a Twitter post[from the United Stand](https://twitter.com/UnitedStandMUFC/status/1219378701248409601) which detailed what could happen if executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward took over Tottenham Hotspur, supporters were in full agreement that the controversial figure would have them [‘battling relegation in five years’.](https://twitter.com/UnitedStandMUFC/status/1219378701248409601)**

Woodward, who has been facing some pressure from the fans this January window as supporters remain desperate to land reported targets like Bruno Fernandes ([Sky Sports News](https://www.skysports.com/transfer/news/11667/11912623/bruno-fernandes-manchester-united-transfer-target-desperate-for-move)), has also faced waves of criticism in the past on social media – with the ‘#WoodwardOut’ protest having [occasionally trended](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9678284/furious-man-utd-fans-woodward-out-arsenal/) on Twitter in flashes over the last few months. Now, with fan account the United Stand pointing out a hypothetical scenario where he leads Spurs to relegation, supporters have taken the opportunity to lament his position even further. The 48-year-old, who [reportedly advised](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/21532300) the Glazers upon taking over the club in 2005, has worked his way up to the vice-chairman position since being appointed for a ‘[financial planning role](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/21532300)‘ in 2007 – but these United supporters feel that his work has not been up to scratch.

Here’s what they had to say on Twitter.
