Manchester United’s latest financial figures show that former Athletic Director Dan Ashworth received a repayment of £ 4.1 million despite working at Old Trafford for just 159 days.
The details were revealed this morning when United’s quarterly accounts were submitted to the New York Stock Exchange.
It was already known that United paid £ 10.4 million in compensation with former boss Erik Ten Hag and his training staff when the Dutchman was fired in October, just three and a half months after signing an annual contract.
An expensive mistake?
But Ashworth’s recruitment and launch was the remarkable integration today, given the huge cost of his short time in the club.
Ashworth launched United on July 1, 2024, having spent five months for a gardening license at the former Club Newcastle and only after Sir Jim Ratcliffe had installed a long -term compensation battle with the Tyneside Club after agreeing to pay £ 5 million.
It was rejected on December 8, shortly after United had suffered a 3-2 defeat at the Nottingham Forest, as the cracks continued to appear in a United Group that Ratcliffe invested in the summer.
The revelation that Ashworth costs the £ 9m club before taking into account wages comes at a bad time for Ratcliffe as it continues to take costs.
Over 200 people have been fired since Ratcliffe acquired a 27.7 % minority market for UNITED in February last year.
Today’s figures also revealed that the revenue from broadcasting broadcasts sank by 42.1 % annually to £ 61.6 million due to the missing club for the Champions League qualifications this season and competed in the Europa League.
Berrada focuses on the positives
United Omar Berrada CEO insisted that there were still reasons for optimism – highlighting the positive work being conducted in the club – and stressed that the main priority was to improve the results in the field with the United Men’s Group sitting in 15th place in 15th place in 15th place in 15th place. Premier League.
