Gary Neville really why Dan Ashworth was really kicked out of Manchester United

Ten Hag was kept on over the summer, but following disappointing defeats to the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham United, the Dutchman was let go.

But Neville is convinced there’s more at play. He added: “You can’t bring someone in at the level of Dan Ashworth and then lose him after five months and think something hasn’t gone wrong. The fans are now going to ask the question: what’s gone wrong? They’re going to speculate, it’s going to leave huge voids.

“I think you’re better off punching us in the face with the truth sometimes when it’s so obvious that there’s been something that has gone wrong between the personalities of Dan Ashworth, Omar Berrada, Dave Brailsford, whoever it is in the last few months that have obviously not got on with each other or it’s not been working.

“Just tell us because it’s obvious something has happened. I think that statement is weak.”
