The 23-year-old has since opened up on the heartbreaking reason behind his retirement, revealing he wanted to avoid the risk of being unable to walk at 25.

"I completely zoned out. Is he talking about me? Is this real? Surely this is wrong? It can't be me. It can't be right," Woolston told BBC.

"The advice of the specialists was if I continued for another two years, my way of life would be totally different, that I would struggle to walk," he added.

Meanwhile, Woolston has been fortunate enough as Man United have accorded him the necessary support to see him through his retirement journey.

"The club have been brilliant in what they have been able to offer and the guidance they have given. Having that support has made the last 12 to 14 months much easier," he disclosed.
