Dan Ashworth Departs Manchester United After Five Months

Ruben Amorim, the head coach of Manchester United, addressed the recent departure of sporting director Dan Ashworth, describing the situation as 'not the best' but affirming that the club's vision remains clear and unaffected. Ashworth's exit after just 159 days has surprised many within the club, despite indications of instability in the hierarchy. Amorim emphasized the support he has felt from the ownership and staff since his arrival, stating that one person's departure does not destabilize the team. He acknowledged the need for improvements after recent defeats and is focused on maximizing the potential of the current squad rather than relying on new signings in the January transfer window. The head coach remains committed to leading United back to success in the Premier League, which he recognizes will be a long journey ahead. Amorim's comments come ahead of their Europa League match against Viktoria Plzen.
