Manchester United sporting director Dan Ashworth has left his role after just five months. He officially started at United on 1 July, having spent five months on gardening leave at former club Newcastle.
However, a United statement said the decision was by “mutual agreement,” adding, “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.”
His Old Trafford exit was finalised in a meeting after the Red Devils’ 3-2 home defeat by Nottingham Forest on Saturday, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation. News of the 53-year-old’s departure was first reported by the Athletic on Sunday.

Furthermore, Ashworth was seen walking through the press conference room with the club’s chief operating officer, Collette Roche, after the Forest match. It is understood he was on his way to a meeting where his exit was confirmed.
United have had a disappointing season so far, sacking manager Erik ten Hag in October after just three wins from their opening nine Premier League matches.
The club later confirmed it cost £10.4m to pay off Ten Hag and his staff, while the cost of paying a release clause to bring in his replacement, Ruben Amorim, was £11m.
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has also been criticised by fans for scrapping concessions of what the club says are the 3% of tickets that remain unsold for Premier League matches and introducing a minimum price of £66.
The move triggered protests at Old Trafford before last weekend’s victory over Everton.
In conclusion, Ratcliffe has said that United has become “mediocre” and warned more “difficult and unpopular decisions” will be needed.
