NBC Sports’ pundit reacted to Dan Ashworth’s dismissal from Manchester United, questioning the official narrative of mutual agreement and expressing disbelief at the sudden change.
NBC Sports’ pundit 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,” he added. “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.”
Joe Cole provided his perspective on the implications of Dan Ashworth’s performance at Manchester United, criticizing the transfer business during Ashworth’s tenure.
Joe Cole said “I wouldn’t say this season is a write-off for Manchester United – they could still build some momentum. But they are absolutely going through a rebuild. There are so many players in that Manchester United team that I don’t think can take them where they want to go. But their first transfer window was terrible – it probably set United back by a year. They can’t miss in the next transfer windows; they need to get players that can play for this United squad.”
Gary Pallister commented on the abrupt departure of Dan Ashworth, expressing that it reflects poorly on Manchester United’s management.
Gary Pallister said “I think everybody was caught off guard by the news of Dan Ashworth. We have wasted an awful amount of money on players that haven’t stood up to the task, and we all thought Dan was gonna be integral moving forward. It’s hard to talk about it right now because of all the rumours. It is surprising and it’s not a good look because he was seen as the man who should move us forward in that department. I guess, a lot has gone on behind closed doors, but I am sure they were just not happy with the fit. But it’s not a good look, because he was the man who should make a difference in recruitment. But it might not have gone as well as they thought.”
