General manager Dan Ashworth left Manchester United after five months. Manchester United announced its separation from Ashworth on the 8th (Korea time). Manchester United added "We appreciate Ashworth's hard work and support during the club's transition and wish him the best in the future." he said. He also did not forget that it was a decision based on mutual agreement.
He left Newcastle United early after being appointed as Manchester United's general manager earlier this year. After a five-month 'vacation', Ashworth began accompanying Manchester United in July.
But Manchester United were at their worst. He replaced Erik ten Hag in October. Ten Hach, who took the helm of Manchester United in the summer of 2022, led his team to third place in the English Premier League (EPL) in the first season. He won the League Cup and finished second in the FA Cup, making a soft landing.
Last season, however, was the opposite. Manchester United has never fallen below 7th in the EPL, but only ranked 8th. His 14th loss is also the most. Manchester United's humiliation was also the biggest number of runs and negative goal difference.
Ahead of the FA Cup final, which is the last stage of the season, coach Ten Hag's future was effectively concluded with 'hardness'. There was a twist. Manchester United beat Manchester City 2-1 to lift the trophy.

Ten Hach renewed his contract ahead of the 2024-2025 season. The contract period was until June 2026, but separation was inevitable. Reuben Amorim, 39, was appointed as the successor head coach.
However, Manchester United are hardly finding a way out of the rebound. In the 15th round of the EPL held on the home turf, Nottingham Forest lost 2-3. Manchester United, which lost 0-2 to Arsenal in the last round, fell into a swamp of two consecutive league defeats and fell to 13th place (19 points).
He also wrote 'A History of Humility'. It was the first time in 30 years since December 1994 that they lost at home to Nottingham. It is the first time since the Premier League was launched that Nottingham lost two consecutive league games. Unimaginable things are unfolding in reality under former coach Alex Ferguson.
According to several sources with knowledge of the situation 'BBC', Ashworth has heard the decision since losing to Nottingham at home. Ashworth decided to resign after meeting with CEO Omar Verrada.
There is also a flurry of criticism against owner Ratcliffe. Manchester United paid £10.4 million (about 19 billion won) in compensation for the break-up with Ten Hach and £11 million (about 20 billion won) in recruiting Amorim from Sporting Lisbon.
In the process of appointing Ashworth, 10 million pounds (about 18 billion won) went into Newcastle. The compensation alone far exceeds 30 million pounds (about 54.5 billion won). However, owner Ratcliffe has recently raised ticket prices, drawing complaints from fans.
