Dan Ashworth lands new job after Man Utd exit as he works freelance | Football | Sport




As reported by The Times, Ashworth will work with Warwickshire to offer insight into high performance in elite sports.

The cricket side are on the lookout for a new performance director, but Ashworth isn't believed to have been considered for that position.

It's claimed one of the reasons behind Ashworth not throwing his name into the hat is because of the relatively low salary the job attracts, as compared to previous roles he's held.

Ashworth has an existing relationship with Warwickshire having previously worked with the CCC on an audit committee in 2021.

 

Announcing his departure via the official club website, United released a brutal 41-word statement following the decision made by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co.

It read: "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."

The reported reason for his exit was a difference in opinion surrounding the direction of the club, with Ratcliffe said to have been angry at Ashworth's preference to keep Erik ten Hag in the summer.

Ten Hag guided United to an eighth-placed finish in the Premier League last season, but was handed a contract extension following the Red Devils' FA Cup triumph over rivals Manchester City.

It was revealed earlier this month that the cost of hiring and sacking Ashworth totalled a whopping £4.1million.

The sum includes the fee paid to Newcastle to secure his services, as well as the package Ashworth received following the sacking.

Elsewhere, United are said to have splashed an eye-watering £14m on sacking Ten Hag and his staff - the very men Ashworth campaigned so hard to keep.
