Sporting director Dan Ashworth has been placed on gardening leave by Newcastle United after an approach from Manchester United.
Newcastle have placed sporting director Dan Ashworth on gardening leave after an approach from Manchester United. The 52-year-old told the Tyneside club he wanted to leave on Sunday. The Newcastle chief is top of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's list to front up his new football operation at Old Trafford after completing his deal for a 25 per cent stake in the club. There is yet to be a formal approach for Ashworth, but that is expected to come this week.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe called for a swift resolution to the situation at his press conference on Friday, and agreed that it was a concern that Ashworth, privy to sensitive recruitment information, was being approached by a Premier League rival.
