Man Utd Banking On Key Factor To Get Dan Ashworth Deal Done

Manchester United are confident that Newcastle United’s Profitability and Sustainability issues will eventually force them to accept a financial settlement for Dan Ashworth’s exit, according to The Athletic.

Newcastle have placed Ashworth on gardening leave after he told the club that he wants to leave for Manchester United.

The Red Devils want Ashworth as their new sporting director and they have already approached Newcastle officially to start negotiations.

Newcastle want somewhere around £20m before agreeing to release the 52-year-old from his contract but Manchester United are in no mood to pay such a figure.

However, there is confidence at Old Trafford that Newcastle will eventually agree to a financial settlement.

It has been claimed that Manchester United believe Newcastle’s issues with the Premier League’s PSR guidelines will push them towards working out a deal for Ashworth’s exit.

For the moment, Newcastle are continuing to pay a football executive who has made it clear that he wants to leave.

The Magpies are also hoping to keep Ashworth away from Old Trafford until at least the summer transfer window closes.
