Borini was already settled in the area before joining Salford after purchasing Woodward’s Cheshire home. Back in 2020, The Sun reported that around 20 masked United supporters targeted Woodward’s £2 million mansion with red paint, a smoke bomb and fireworks. Borini says those events helped him negotiate a lower price for the property. He told The Times: “We bought the house four years ago, actually from the former CEO of Man United, Woodward. Because of the protests outside, everybody was worried so I said: ‘Don’t worry I’ll buy it; get the price down!’” Since leaving United, Woodward has moved into advisory roles across sports and technology, including work with AI firms and Esports organisations. Fabio Borini’s record against Man Utd Borini faced United nine times during his career, playing for Chelsea, Liverpool, and Sunderland. The Italian forward managed three wins, five losses, and one draw in those meetings. He scored twice against them, including an important goal for Sunderland in a 2-1 win that gave the Black Cats the edge heading into the second leg of an FA Cup semi-final tie. Now with Salford City in League Two, Borini is looking to make his mark at a club co-owned by David Beckham and Gary Neville.
