How did Ed Woodward ended up at Manchester United?

In 2005, the Glazers took control of Man Utd through a ~£790m Leveraged Buyout (LBO).

Due to the complexity of the LBO, Woodward who worked as an M&A specialist at J.P. Morgan was assigned by the bank to assist in the deal.
Leveraged Buyouts (LBOs) are transaction where a company is acquired using debt as the main source of consideration.

The debt is usually secured against the assets and cashflows of the acquired company.

Manchester United was debt-free before the Glazers bought it.
The battle for the control of RJR Nabisco showed that companies that are mature, stable, predictable are good candidates for a LBOs.

Due to the amount of debt that will be loaded onto the acquired, predictable cash flows are important to make the debt repayments.
