Manchester United has brought in Dan Ashworth as their new sporting director. The 53-year-old will start his duties at Old Trafford right away.
In a statement released by both clubs, it was mentioned, “Newcastle United and Manchester United have agreed for the immediate release of Dan Ashworth from his obligations at Newcastle United. The specific terms of this agreement will be kept private between the clubs. Newcastle United expresses gratitude to Dan for his contributions and wishes him success in his future endeavors.”
Initially, Newcastle was seeking £20 million in compensation for the former FA Technical Director, while Manchester United aimed to pay a lesser amount. However, a compromise was reached in recent days.
