It's Urgent I Return to England

So what was the real reason for Ed Woodward curtailing his tour with Manchester United? The given reason was to 'attend to transfer matters'.
Is anybody aware of any 'transfer matters', in or out of Old Trafford?

He left Australia a full four days before his schedule departure to attend to these urgent 'transfer matters'.

Maybe it was to check up on the sale of season tickets before he splashed out on some second rate, third division continental player, we don't need, on the last day of the transfer window.

Correct me, haven't the Glazers done this before?
