MAN UTD GET THEIR MAN! DAN ASHWORTH SET TO BECOME NEW SPORTING DIRECTOR AS RED DEVILS AVOID LEGAL WRANGLE WITH NEWCASTLE
- Ashworth severing ties with Newcastle
- Compensation package agreed
- Will begin work immediately
WHAT HAPPENED?
An agreement there has been mooted for some time, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the process of rebuilding the Red Devils on and off the pitch following his acquisition of a 25 percent stake in the club. Ashworth is considered to be a crucial part of that project.
DID YOU KNOW?
Ashworth will be given responsibility for “football performance, recruitment and operations”, as he works alongside technical director Jason Wilcox. He will report into Sir Dave Brailsford, the director of sport at INEOS who has been charged by Ratcliffe with leading a review of United’s football operations.
