Man Utd plans to approach Newcastle's Dan Ashworth for a key sporting director role, but faces challenges due to Ashworth's loyalty to his current club.
Manchester United is gearing up to make a significant move by approaching Newcastle's sporting director, Dan Ashworth. The 52-year-old is considered a top choice by Sir Jim Ratcliffe to take on a crucial role at the club, but the Red Devils are encountering resistance in luring him away from Newcastle due to his strong allegiance to the Tyneside club. Despite United's confidence in their ability to secure Ashworth, Newcastle seems to be holding out for a substantial compensation package.
Ashworth, a former PE teacher, is highly regarded for his previous work at West Brom, Brighton, and Newcastle. His track record includes helping West Brom reach the Premier League and creating the 'England DNA' model. Manchester United sees him as a key figure in their future plans, hoping to benefit from his expertise in talent identification and managerial appointments.
Meanwhile, the ongoing saga has sparked speculation and rumors in the football world, with Sir Alex Ferguson reportedly endorsing Ashworth's potential move to Manchester United. The appointment of Ashworth is seen as a vital step in reshaping the Red Devils' football operations, aligning with INEOS Group's efforts to revamp the club's structure.
As negotiations unfold between the two clubs, the possibility of Ashworth joining Manchester United in 2025 looms, pending the resolution of compensation terms. Amidst the uncertainties, the football community eagerly anticipates the resolution of this high-profile transfer saga.
