Dan Ashworth was appointed as sporting director at Manchester United but left the role after only five months. His departure was attributed to a chemistry issue, as stated by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who admitted hiring Ashworth was a mistake. Ashworth is expected to return to the Football Association in a new role focused on developing elite men's and women's football. This transition follows a significant financial impact on the club's accounts due to his brief tenure.
All I will say is chemistry, really. I don't really want to go into the details. I think we are where we are. We have moved on.
A chemistry issue. He added: We are not perfect, and we are on a journey, and there have been a couple of errors along the way, but I think in the main all the things we are doing are the right things for the club.
I agree the Erik ten Tag and Dan Ashworth decisions were errors. I think there were some mitigating circumstances, but ultimately they were errors.
It was an error on our part, Ratcliffe said. All I will say is chemistry, really.
