Ed Woodward becomes a hero to Manchester United fans after raft of signings

Enjoy this moment, Ed.

While your job primarily consists of signing lucrative sponsorship deals, boosting the club's brand image and keep making dough for the Glazers, it must be nice to get some praise from Manchester United's considerable fan base along the way. After all, if the club wins a trophy next season, no-one's going to say: "What a great performance by Ed Woodward". However, today is your big moment, Ed. United confirmed the signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin today, after already securing a deal for Matteo Darmian over the weekend, and Memphis Depay back in May. And the club's fans took to Twitter to shower praise on Untied's executive vice-chairman Woodward for masterminding the transfers. Some fans were so happy with Ed, they wanted either a revolution in England, and an end to the monarchy, or for Woodward himself to take the throne. https://twitter.com/prophAcid/status/620580391787741185 https://twitter.com/OffsideLiam/status/620576172976553984 Others likened him to famous film characters. https://twitter.com/SoccerSt_/status/620576285044162560 https://twitter.com/BBCSporf/status/620355012699496448 https://twitter.com/Sibulele_Q/status/620579423272730624 https://twitter.com/ManUnitedTalk/status/620585263278989312 One believes Ed may even have special powers. https://twitter.com/captain_nick/status/620650328485179392 There were feelings of pride... https://twitter.com/aileen_garcia_/status/620650010762350592 Gratitude... https://twitter.com/izzan_bujoq/status/620650031578640385 Optimism... https://twitter.com/rioferdy5/status/620600287217197057 He's an beacon of hope to us all. https://twitter.com/TheLostPokemon/status/620648602621181953 Who delivers on his promises. https://twitter.com/harisahmeed/status/620649980248719360 And could even be the subject of a transfer bid himself. https://twitter.com/rodyjosh/status/620648067222622208 Women want him, men want to be him. https://twitter.com/MattSav7/status/620647293268705280 He can even get away with wearing shades indoors. https://twitter.com/muminuh/status/620576824431669248 And all the haters are just jealous. https://twitter.com/nigelowen31/status/620648432512970752
