Manchester United have announced the departure of technical director Dan Ashworth.
The popular figure spent only five months at the Old Trafford.
He arrived United officially on July 1 after leaving another Premier League club, Newcastle United.
The Red Devils had coughed up around £3m to bring him to Old Trafford, but the parties have now split by “mutual consent”.
United announced this morning: “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 decision was said to have been made last night after a meeting with chief exec Omar Berrada in the aftermath of United’s home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
