JAKARTA - Manchester United Sports Director, Dan Ashworth resigned on Sunday, December 8, 2024, local time, after only working for five months.

Ashworth joined in July 2024 after reaching an agreement - which reached millions - with his former club Newcastle United.

The 53-year-old is seen as an important part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Old Trafford reshuffle, the minority shareholder of The Red Devils.

Initially, Dan Ashworth was projected to make significant changes with Technical Director Jason cap, and CEO Omar Berrada.

However, he has resigned after only overseeing one transfer window and less than a month after the arrival of new coach Ruben Amorim.

"Dan Ashworth akan meninggalkan perannya sebagai Direktur Olahraga Manchester United berdasarkan kesepakatan bersama."

"We would like to thank And for his hard work and support during the club's transitional period. We wish him all the best in the future," read Manchester United's official statement.

And Ashworth had witnessed Manchester United's defeat to Nottingham Forest 2-3 at Old Trafford on Sunday, December 8, 2024, early morning WIB.

ESPN sources said that Dan Ashworth's departure was influenced by Sir Jim Radcliffe who was no longer impressed by the presence of the Sports Director.

Ashworth is considered to have no personality and skills to do a good job in that position.

So, instead of letting unsatisfactory situations worsen, a decision is taken to act now in favor of dramatic damage restrictions.

The relationship between Ashworth and Ratcliffe has reportedly cracked for weeks.

Again, this decision is proof that the patience of Manchester United officials is thin with tissue.

Ashworth and Berrada and cap play an important role in Erik ten Hag's replacement selection process, which ultimately leaves Amorima hijacked from Sporting CP.

Ashworth oversaw the arrival of five main players in the summer, namely Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Manuel Ugarte, Leny Yoro, and Joshua Zirkshee who came at a combined fee of more than 180 million pounds.

The defeat to Nottingham Forest put Manchester United in 13th place in the Premier League standings with 19 points, their lowest win after 15 games since 1986.

The negative result is thought to be one of the triggers for Dan Ashworth's departure because Ratelege can't wait to make Manchester United competitive again.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils will face FC Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on December 13, 2024, and Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on December 15, 2024.

It is interesting to look forward to the response of Manchester United officials to Ruben Amoram's work in the two matches after two consecutive defeats in the Premier League. Can't you wait again?
