Revealed: The Real Reason Behind Dan Ashworth's Sudden Resignation from Manchester United
Dan Ashworth's unexpected departure as Manchester United's Sporting Director after just five months is attributed to disagreements over managerial appointments, particularly his preference for Gareth Southgate over the club's choice of Ruben Amorim.
Dan Ashworth's abrupt exit from his role as Sporting Director at Manchester United has been linked to internal conflicts regarding the club's managerial direction. Reports indicate that Ashworth favored former England manager Gareth Southgate to succeed Erik ten Hag, with whom he had previously collaborated at the Football Association. However, the club's hierarchy, led by CEO Omar Berrada, had already initiated discussions with Ruben Amorim, culminating in his appointment. This divergence in vision reportedly led to Ashworth feeling marginalized in key decision-making processes, ultimately resulting in his resignation.
