DAN ASHWORTH has reportedly left Manchester United.
The sporting director has only been at Old Trafford for five months.
Ashworth joined the club after a long spell of gardening after leaving Newcastle.
The 53-year-old was appointed by Man Utd to oversee “football performance, recruitment and operations”.
But following confrontational talks with CEO Omar Berrada following last night's 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest, The Athletic claim Ashworth has quit by mutual consent.
The boss was instrumental in United's £183m summer spend during the first transfer window under Ineos management.
The club signed Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs De Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee and Noussair Mazraoui.
Ashworth was also involved in the decision to initially retain Erik ten Hag and give him a new contract, only to sack him just months later.
