Ashworth exit raises key United question as Ratcliffe faces fresh scrutiny

Manchester United have mutually agreed to end the contract of sporting director Dan Ashworth barely three weeks before the winter transfer window opens next year

Manchester United are facing fresh questions from supporters after announcing that sporting director Dan Ashworth will be leaving the club by mutual agreement.

That concluded four-and-a-half months of negotiations after the Reds officially approached them over Ashworth in mid-February. To coincide with that move from United, Newcastle placed their sporting director on gardening leave after he requested his release. The communications department's 41-word statement reads: "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."
