Former Manchester United vice-chairman Ed Woodward has returned to work - in esports.

Woodward, 51, left United at the end of last season after 16 years working for the English giants.

He has now joined Abu Dhabi-based educational esports company EStars. EStars counts on former Newcastle and Netherlands goalkeeper Tim Krul as a supporter.

Woodward said: When you put together esports, education and a dynamic region such as the Middle East, where curriculum decisions can be made faster than Europe, it is a recipe for success.

Joining the team is an easy decision when you add the exceptional leadership and entrepreneurial energy of Mags. I'm excited about EStars delivering a path of learning for the next generation in the (relatively) new industry of esports."
