Ed Woodward may be replaced by Richard Arnold

The Red Devils are close to hiring Richard Arnold to replace Ed Woodward.

Manchester United

will appoint

Richard Arnold

as the Old Trafford club's group managing director, a position that belonged to

Ed Woodward

. And the club decided to replace him during the crisis of the European Super League (ESL), and the process was set to take place by the end of the year.

After the ESL crisis and the supporters’ disappointment with the Glazer family’s decisions, the owners decided to let the fans get more involved in the decision-making process.

"The club has been in discussions with MUST [the Manchester United Supporters Trust] regarding a fan share scheme for a number of months and has already sought external legal advice on options,"

Joel Glazer, United's co-chairman, said in June

.

"Discussions will now intensify, with the aim of agreeing a plan before the start of the new season."

The family had previously apologized to the fans for their actions, although they insisted that European football needs improvements.

"We continue to believe that European football needs to become more sustainable throughout the pyramid for the long-term. However, we fully accept that the Super League was not the right way to go about it," Mr Glazer said.

"In seeking to create a more stable foundation for the game, we failed to show enough respect for its deep-rooted traditions - promotion, relegation, the pyramid - and for that we are sorry."
