Gary Neville 's concerns over Manchester United's 'bad culture' appears to explain why a move for Brighton Hove & Albion technical director Dan Ashworth failed to materialise.
A major rebuild is expected at Old Trafford this summer after the confirmation that Erik ten Hag will be the new manager from next season. But changes behind the scenes have already commenced.
John Murtough was promoted from head of football development to football director, while former player Darren Fletcher has been promoted from academy coach to technical director. Before the appointment of Fletcher as technical director, United explored the possibility of appointing Ashworth from Brighton at the start of the year, according to The Athletic.
