Manchester United’s latest financial figures show that former sports director Dan Ashworth received a pound of £ 4.1 million, even though he only worked at Old Trafford for 159 days.
The details were announced this morning when the quarterly accounts of United were submitted to the New York Stock Exchange.
It was already known that United United paid £ 10.4 million to former boss Erik Ten HAG and his team of coaches when the Dutch was released in October, just three and a half months after the signing of a one -year contract extension.
An expensive mistake?
But the attitude and firing of Ashworth was the remarkable recording today in view of the enormous costs of his short stay in the club.
Ashworth started on July 1, 2024 at United after spending five months on a garden vacation in the former Club Newcastle, and only after Sir Jim Ratcliffe committed a long -term remuneration battle with the Tyneside Club after he had agreed to get 5 million pounds pay.
He was released on December 8, shortly after United suffered a 3-2 defeat against Nottingham Forest when the cracks in a United squad, in which the rat cliffs had strongly invested in the summer, performed.
The revelation that Ashworth cost the club £ 9 million before wages are taken into account, comes for a bad time for rat cliffs, since it continues to take unpopular cost -impact measures.
Over 200 people have been released since Ratcliffe acquired a purchase of 27.7 percent in United in February last year in February last year.
Today’s figures also showed that the revenue from radio by 42.1 percent had dropped to 61.6 million GBP compared to the previous year, since the club misses the Champions League qualification this season and participated in the Europa League instead .
Berada focuses on the positive
The CEO of United, Omar Berrada, insisted that there were still reasons for optimism – indicating the positive work in the club – and emphasized that the main priority was to improve the results on the field, whereby the men’s team from United Sits in the 15th place in the Premier League.
