Ruben Amorim breaks silence on Dan Ashworth’s shock exit as Man Utd boss weighs in on INEOS’ bold vision

Europa League

Manchester United

Rangers

<p>The Red Devils have taken the decision to part with their sporting director just five months after bringing him in from Newcastle. Questions are being asked of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-more-mess-sir-jim-ratcliffe-farcical-dan-ashworth-exit-list-embarrassments-wasteful-ineos-erik-ten-hag-debacle/bltb5c214cfb7525ae1" target="_blank">how Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the club’s ownership team are running things</a> behind the scenes, with staff cuts and price hikes <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-last-century-sir-jim-ratcliffe-promises-more-unpopular-decisions/bltabf299b70e566069" target="_blank">already attracting criticism</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ashworth is said to have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-dan-ashworth-brutally-sacked-man-utd-deterioration-working-relationship-sir-jim-ratcliffe-ineos-explained/blt3aa1274dfd33158f" target="_blank">paid the price for failing to convince Ratcliffe and Co with his response to Erik ten Hag’s sacking</a>, as another manager hunt began, and a lack of stability off the field is doing little for continuity and positive progress on it.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Amorim, though, has said of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bro-paying-antony-200k-sir-jim-ratcliffe-rat-furious-man-utd-fans-staff-christmas-bonus/bltdfb65fae79a5d8d6" target="_blank">big decisions being made at boardroom level</a>: “The first thing I want to say since the first day I felt great support from the ownership, from Omar [Berrada], from them also, from Jason [Wilcox] and Dan was part of that.</p><p>“I felt really, really, really [good] support from Dan, but this is football and sometimes this happens. It happens with players and with coaches. I know it's not the best situation, but the important thing is that we continue on our way. The path is really clear for everybody and I think this can happen in football.”</p>

WHAT AMORIM SAID

<p>Amorim went on to say of the direction that United are heading in with Ashworth gone: “Since day one I felt the support from everybody - one person leaving doesn't change anything. Of course, it's a bad situation. Like I said, we're talking about a human being, a professional, who supports us as a team, but I think the most important thing is that the vision is really clear and that doesn't change if one person leaves.” </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>United’s grand plan was to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/delusional-ruben-amorim-savaged--premier-league-title-dream-man-utd-portuguese-coach-come-back-to-reality/blte2f60cefbdf02023" target="_blank">work their way back into Premier League title contention</a> after welcoming Ratcliffe – Britain's richest man – and INEOS on board alongside the unpopular Glazer family. They sit 13th in the table at present and are finding forward momentum difficult to generate.</p>
