Man Utd Appoint Dan Ashworth As Sporting Director
In February, Newcastle put sporting director Dan Ashworth on gardening leave because he wanted to join Manchester United; Sir Jim Ratcliffe has since restructured Man Utd’s leadership since he took over earlier this year.
The 53-year-old commences his new role at Old Trafford with immediate effect.
A joint statement from the two clubs read: “Newcastle United and Manchester United have reached an agreement for the immediate release of Dan Ashworth from his contractual obligations at Newcastle United.
“The terms of this agreement remain confidential between the clubs. Newcastle United thanks Dan for his services and wishes him well for the future.”
Newcastle initially demanded £20m compensation for the former FA Technical Director, while Manchester United sought to pay a fraction of that amount, but they reached a compromise in the last few days.
