Dan Ashworth will be leaving his role as Sporting Director of Manchester United by mutual agreement. We would like to thank Dan for his work and support during a transitional period for the club and wish him well for the future.
The decision was mutual, but the manner and timing of Ashworth's departure will raise more questions for Ratcliffe's Ineos group, especially following the sacking of Ten Hag.
Ashworth was involved in an expensive summer of recruitment, with the combined fees for Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs De Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui and Joshua Zirkzee costing around £200m.
Although United have said the decision was mutual, the lack of stability post-Ashworth's arrival raises concerns, especially with Erik ten Hag sacked just months after contract extension.
