Manchester Chief Woodward does the unthinkable to Mourinho

Manchester United Jose Mourinho was not impressed with Ed Woodward’s late decision to snub a meeting with him last week.

Mourinho and Woodward were supposed to sit down and discuss January transfer targets.

And new details have emerged of the meeting Mourinho was supposed to have with Woodward, in which they were also supposed to discuss the appointment of a director of football.

“He was due, I’m told, to meet Ed Woodward last week to discuss transfer reinforcements,” Duncan Castles, speaking on the The Transfer Window podcast said.

“And I think to discuss the potential of a director of football being brought in, which is always a matter of significant importance to Mourinho because he would want to be sure that any director of football brought in would be supportive of him as opposed to someone brought in to override him in the transfer market because more problems of the type he’s had in the last summer.

“I understand that meeting was cancelled at the last minute by Ed Woodward, and Mourinho as you would expect is not impressed that he was not able to speak with the chief executive about matters of key concerns to his future.”
