Dan Ashworth lasted a turbulent five months and six days as the inaugural Man United sporting director before he left.
Dan Ashworth was not in favour of appointing Ruben Amorim as the new head coach of Manchester United.
Amorim was a candidate that United already had under consideration before Ashworth took over as sporting director on July 1. When asked for comment, United referred to their communication at the time of Amorim's appointment that it was a unanimous decision by the senior club leadership. The statement that confirmed Amorim's imminent arrival on November 1 was not accompanied by quotes from Ashworth and nor was the communiqué to announce Erik ten Hag's departure in October. Ashworth was quoted in the statements to announce the signings of Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui and Manuel Ugarte in the summer.
