Shearer's eviscerating criticism of United's recruitment proved to be foreboding as sporting director Dan Ashworth's departure followed
Alan Shearer 's comments in the wake of Manchester United's 3-2 defeat on Saturday summed up the problem facing Manchester United at the moment.
When asked about the job facing new manager Ruben Amorim, Shearer told BBC's Match of the Day: "He must have walked into that football club and thought: 'this is what you are giving me? You spent £600million with the previous manager and this is what I have to work with?'.
Despite only being appointed as sporting director in July, after a lengthy public pursuit that cost the club millions in compensation to prise him away from Newcastle, Dan Ashworth left the club by mutual consent in the wake of the loss to Forest.
