Dan Ashworth is 'lined up for return to the Premier League' three months after being brutally sacked by Man United

Former Man United sporting director Dan Ashworth is reportedly being lined up by a Premier League club, three months after leaving Old Trafford.

The 54-year-old was abruptly axed by Man United in December, having been brought to the club from Newcastle United just five months earlier.

Mail Sport revealed that the co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe had become frustrated at what was viewed as Ashworth’s indecision, particularly with regards a definitive plan regarding previous manager Erik ten Hag’s future and the Dutchman’s potential successor.

Ashworth has been working for Warwickshire Cricket Club in recent weeks, advising on performance strategy in a voluntary, unpaid capacity.
