Gary Neville commented on the departure of sporting director Dan Ashworth from Manchester United, labeling the club’s brief statement on the matter as inadequate.
Gary Neville said “really poor”
Gary Neville was expressing his disbelief and concern over the sudden exit of Dan Ashworth after a short tenure at the club, indicating potential discord within Manchester United’s management.
Gary Neville said “Something like that can’t be mutual. You would have expected large changes but not for this position. Dan Ashworth was headhunted for many, many months, he was chased for about 10 months, he was on gardening leave for four or five minutes, he was paid millions of pounds for, I worked with Dan Ashworth at the FA and he’s been successful wherever he has gone. I’m really shocked this morning that this has happened this morning and it’s going to need a lot of explaining. The statement that the club has put out is really poor. Manchester United haven’t had a voice for 10 years. They lost their authority, their boldness, I think they’ve been getting it back in the last 12 months but what is clear is that there’s a fracture here, something has happened. You can’t bring someone at the level of Dan Ashworth, lose him after five months and I think something hasn’t gone wrong. Fans are going to be asking the question of what’s gone wrong, they’ll speculate, it’ll leave huge voids and I think it’s better to punch us in the face when it is so obvious that something has gone wrong between the personalities of Dan Ashworth, Omar Berrada, Sir Dave Brailsford. Whoever it is in the last few months that have not gone on with each other or it’s not been working. Just tell us, it’s obvious something has happened, I think that statement was weak.”
