DAN ASHWORTH has reportedly left Manchester United.
The sporting director has been at Old Trafford for just five months.
Ashworth joined the club following a lengthy period of gardening after he quit Newcastle.
The 53-year-old was appointed by Man Utd to oversee "football performance, recruitment and operations".
But following showdown talks with CEO Omar Berrada after the 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest last night, The Athletic claim Ashworth has quit by mutual consent.
The chief played a huge role United's Β£183million summer spending spree in the first transfer window under Ineos leadership.
The club signed Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs De Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee and Noussair Mazraoui.
Ashworth was also involved in the decision to initially keep Erik ten Hag and hand him a new contract, only to sack him just months later.

Best decision... United has to be ruthless to return to glory days.. he took n0nsense decisions in just a window he was given chance. Retained Ten Haag only to fire him again thereby wasting the summer.. signed rubb1sh players.

He deserves the sack in all honesty for approving the calibre of players signed. Ruthless mode is the only way to get the club back to it's glory days. Now get rid of the lazy players come end of the season.
