The report reveals Woodward feels capable of starting a new big role elsewhere, preferably in sport, in licensing, marketing or data.
However, close sources suggest his heart will remain at Old Trafford, and therefore it would be difficult to consider a job at another club.

And his failure to provide David Moyes with the tools to help succeed Sir Alex Ferguson also stands as one of his biggest regrets at the club.
