Woolston: They didn't have to do it

A hip injury forced 23-year-old Woolston to announce his retirement from professional football in March.

Woolston joined United from Newcastle in 2018, and enjoyed loan spells at north-east clubs Darlington, Gateshead, South Shields, and Blyth Spartans.

The 23-year-old also played for England Under-17s and Under-18s during his career and made 13 appearances for United’s Under-23s in his time at the club.

As you will hear when you listen to Woolston’s episode of the UTD Podcast - available now in the United App – he reveals how his Manchester United team-mates helped him come to terms with early retirement.
