Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is set to leave the club's pre-season tour of the United States.

Woodward spent the weekend in Los Angeles, telling fans to 'watch this space' when asked in an MUTV interview if United were ready to make any more new signings, although it is understood he is leaving to conduct general business.

The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund defender Mat Hummels, while they retain an interest in Feyenoord centre-back Stefan De Vrij, Arsenal's Thomas Vermaelen and Ajax's Daley Blind.

Woodward also left United's summer tour last year, heading home from Australia early on in what was described at the time as 'urgent transfer business'.

But it wasn't until deadline day that he made his first signing in the role he inherited from David Gill, paying Everton £27.5m for Marouane Fellaini.
