On the pitch United were held to a 1-1 draw with AC Milan in the Champions League and last night beat West Ham 1-0 to further cement their position in the Champions League Places.
Today the Daily Mail has reported that Ed Woodward, the club’s Executive Vice Chairman, is set to relocate to London from Manchester.
He has sold his Cheshire home and is moving to London, although he is said to remain “100%” committed to Manchester United.
His house was subject to an attack by a group of supporters early last year, in which flares were launched at the property and Police were called. The incident was investigated by the Police, but no arrests were made.

Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani, David De Gea, Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek are all close to returning in what will be seen as a major boost for the team.
With so many players looking tired after a small break in between this and last season, the chance to rest players will be welcomed.
However, with trophies on the line and an International break following the FA Cup tie, Solskjaer may look to get through the next week and then hope the players get some rest in.
