The sporting director is currently on gardening leave.
The sporting director is currently on gardening leave Newcastle are prepared to negotiate a lower compensation fee to reduce Dan Ashworth’s gardening leave, though they are still playing hardball with Manchester United. It is almost a month since Newcastle announced that the 52-year-old had decided to leave the club following an approach from the Red Devils to be their first-ever sporting director.
Ideally, Ineos want Ashworth to oversee the appointment of a new head of recruitment – who will be responsible for overseeing an overhaul of United’s transfer team – while he will also be a critical voice in the decision over whether Erik ten Hag should keep his job or not. If Manchester United are adamant about not over-paying for Ashworth, they will therefore have to wait until September at the earliest to finally get their man.
