Former Liverpool striker Fabio Borini has revealed that he has bought former Manchester United CEO Ed Woodward’s home at a reduced price. The Italy international used the unpleasant moment to reduce the asking price of his home, which was once valued at around \u00a32 million.<\/p>\n
Borini made the purchase four years ago after Woodward was targeted by a group of supporters unhappy with the way the Red Devils were being run. In 2020, smoke bombs and fireworks were set off inside the facility, causing chaos.<\/p>\n
The rioters also rang the intercom at the large gate at the entrance to the house, before spraying red paint and leaving disturbing footage. Mr Woodward, his wife and their young twins were not home when the flaming flare was thrown onto the property.<\/p>\n
When United’s former chief executive prepared to sell, Borini was happy to capitalize on the concerns of other potential buyers. The forward, who played in a trade for Turkey’s Fatih Karagmurk in 2021, can now share a home with his wife Erin and two young children, Stella and Rand.<\/p>\n
Mr Borini said: “We bought this house four years ago from former Man United CEO Woodward.<\/p>\n

“People were worried because of the protests outside, so I said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll buy it, lower the price!'”<\/p>\n
At home, Cheshire are paired with Borini, who currently plays for Salford City in League Two. The 34-year-old last played for two years at Serie B side Sampdoria, but after scoring nine goals in 23 games in his first spell, he only made 11 appearances last season.<\/p>\n
Borini was happy to accept Salford’s project and provided his own input to the team. Summer conversations saw him sign on the dotted line earlier this month.<\/p>\n

He told the Times: \u201cI spoke to Alex about the possibility over the summer and said I would be open to the opportunity to come to Salford, even if it was in League Two.<\/p>\n
“They said, ‘Yeah, if you come to training, contribute a little bit to the group, be around your guys and, in a way, help us understand whether we’re doing the right thing or the wrong thing, you’re going to be healthy.’<\/p>\n
“The league and background don’t really matter. What matters is the football. Salford are being developed to be a proper football club.”<\/p>\n
“They’re not throwing money around for no reason. Football people are running football clubs.”<\/p>\n
