Former Man Utd sporting director Dan Ashworth has returned to work in his first job since departing Old Trafford.

Dan Ashworth left Manchester United in December after just five months at Old Trafford, with the highly-rated executive now making his first return to football since that exit

Just months after a surprise exit from Manchester United, Ashworth has taken up a major new post with the Football Association. The FA has appointed Ashworth as its first-ever Chief Football Officer. It’s a big move for English football — and a familiar face returning to familiar territory.
