MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has urged the British government to follow European nations and begin to allow fans back into stadiums, saying he is frustrated by inconsistencies in the approach to COVID-19 restrictions.

Fans have been barred from games in England's professional leagues since a lockdown in March and all games are currently played without supporters.
