🚨DAN ASHWORTH 🔥 MANCHESTER UNITED 💥€2M Bid Approved ✅ Sky $ports News

Manchester United and Newcastle United are at odds over compensation terms for sporting director Dan Ashworth, with negotiations reaching an impasse over a multi-million-pound disagreement. The Red Devils are aiming to bring Ashworth to Old Trafford but are unwilling to meet Newcastle's high financial demands.Newcastle is seeking around £15 million with an additional £5 million in add-ons for Ashworth, who has been on gardening leave since stepping down from his role in February due to Manchester United's interest. In contrast, Manchester United has proposed compensation around the £2 million mark, similar to the fee Newcastle paid to secure Ashworth's services from Brighton two years ago.Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Manchester United's new minority shareholder, recently held discussions with Newcastle director Amanda Staveley in an attempt to break the deadlock, but the two clubs remain far apart in their valuation of Ashworth's compensation.United believes their approach to acquiring Ashworth is in line with Newcastle's own tactics when they recruited him from Brighton. Given Newcastle's significantly higher financial demands, United is prepared to wait and does not anticipate Ashworth starting before the summer unless there's a considerable shift in Newcastle's stance. Ratcliffe has publicly criticized Newcastle's positioning, indicating that Manchester United will not be pressured into paying excessive fees.Manchester United has appointed Jason Wilcox as technical director and agreed on a compensation package with Southampton, demonstrating their readiness to wait if necessary for Ashworth. Wilcox will take the lead during this summer's transfer window, working alongside chief executive Omar Berrada to manage football negotiations and recruitment.Privately, Manchester United feels that the additional £10 million-plus required to accelerate Ashworth's start would be better spent on playing talent, given their tight budget constraints this summer. Ashworth's proposed role at Manchester United involves overseeing the club's football operations, including scouting, analytics, and performance departments, while ensuring a cohesive structure around the manager/head coach.The standoff between Manchester United and Newcastle continues, with the Red Devils remaining firm on their compensation offer. Without a significant change in Newcastle's position, United appears ready to sit tight and rely on Wilcox and Berrada to manage the football operations until Ashworth's arrival, potentially delaying until the autumn or end of the calendar year. #manunited #skysports #manchesterunited #manutd #manutdtransfernewstoday #mufc
