Gary Neville slams Manchester United over ‘really poor’ and ‘weak’ Dan Ashworth statement

Ashworth began work as United’s sporting director in July after completing a period of gardening leave with previous club Newcastle.

But on Sunday morning, the Red Devils announc that. Ashworth had vacat the position by ‘mutual’ consent after just five months. With rumours swirling of a possible rift within the newly establish hierarchy at Old Trafford.

The news comes just five games into Ruben Amorim’s reign as. Head coach and the decision reportedly caught United’s players by complete surprise.

t’s understood United’s technical director will Gary Neville assume. Ashworth’s duties, though Sir Jim Ratcliffe could still look to bring in a full-time replacement for the 53-year-old.

‘Dan Ashworth will be leaving his role as ทางเข้า ufabet https://ufabet999.app sporting director of Manchester United by mutual agreement,’ the statement on United’s official website read.

‘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.’

Neville reveal he was taken aback by. Ashworth’s exit and suggest it was ‘not a great look at all’ for his former club.

The legendary ex-United and England Gary Neville defender was also less than impressed by the 41-word statement given to supporters.

‘Something like that can’t be mutual,’ Neville said.

‘I think when INEOS came to Manchester United, everyone knew that there were going to be big changes and there has been massive redundancies within the club, a complete overhaul of the executive of the club in terms of the CEO, CFO, sporting director, technical director, manager, obviously, just recently as well.

You would have expected large changes but not changes for this position. Dan Ashworth was headhunt for many, many months. He was chas for about ten months, he was on gardening leave for around four of five months, he was paid millions of pounds.

‘I worked with Dan Ashworth at the FA for probably two years and he’s been very successful wherever he’s been, at Brighton, West Brom, the FA and Newcastle most recently.

‘I’m really shocked that this has happened and it’s not a great look at all. It’s something that’s going to need a lot of explaining and I think the statement that the club have put out is really poor.’
