Manchester United have reported The Sun to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), accusing the publication of knowing about the attack on Ed Woodward's home last month in advance.
United's executive vice-chairman had his house in Cheshire targeted by a group wearing balaclavas on January 28, with flares thrown onto the property and graffiti spray-painted onto the front gate and intercom.
A video was posted by the perpetrators on social media which was captioned “Ed Woodward’s gonna die.”
