Just barely five months after taking the roles of sporting director at Old Trafford , Dan ashworth has resigned from his job.
Three weeks ago, news outlets exclusively disclosed that United's new management was engaged in a blame game regarding their summer operations.
The Red Devils agreed to compensate the Toon with £3 million after appointing the 53-year-old to manage "efficiency, recruiting, and operations."
But after a heated discussion with CEO Omar Berrada following yesterday night's 3-2 loss to Nottingham Forest, Ashworth resigned with mutual consent.
Joshua Zirkzee, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs De Ligt, Manuel Ugarte, and Leny Yoro were all acquired by the team.
The choice of whether to initially retain Erik ten Hag and give him another deal, only to have him fired 14 games later, was also influenced by Ashworth.
