FORMER Manchester United chief Ed Woodward has been approached about joining a company with links to the Premier League.
Woodward left Old Trafford in 2022 following a nine-year stint with the Red Devils.

He returned to football last year by joining the Board of Trustees for Bloomsbury Football Foundation, a charity that works with young people from diverse backgrounds.
But now he could be in line for a huge new job with a company that part-owns a Premier League club.
According to Sky News, Woodward has been approached about joining Eagle Football Holdings as an independent director.
The company, which is controlled by American businessman John Textor, is currently preparing to list in the US.
It is is expected to file confidentially with US regulators for an initial public offering in the next fortnight.
Eagle Football currently owns a 45 per cent stake in Premier League side Crystal Palace.
The company has been attempting to sell the stake for months but could now decide to retain it given Palace’s impressive form in the top flight.
It also owns part of Ligue 1 outfit Olympique Lyonnais.

Woodward joined Man Utd back in 2005 after playing a key role in the Glazer family’s takeover.
And he took on the role as executive vice-chairman when David Gill stepped down as CEO in 2013.
In that time, he trebled the value of the Red Devils.
