In a significant development, Dan Ashworth has officially communicated his intention to leave Newcastle, paving the way for a potential move to Manchester United.
However, the process is not straightforward, as negotiations between the two clubs will determine the terms of his departure.
Awaiting Contract Resolution
Sources indicate that Ashworth’s existing contract with Newcastle includes a gardening leave period of nearly two years.
Manchester United, keen on securing his services sooner, faces the challenge of negotiating a substantial compensation fee or adhering to the contract terms and waiting for the gardening leave to conclude.
Critical Juncture Approaching
The culmination of this saga is expected to unfold in the coming days, with developments gaining momentum.
Eddie Howe’s recent press conference heightened tensions, expressing concern about Ashworth’s continued access to the club’s internal workings amid talks of a potential move to their rivals.
Eddie Howe’s Stance
During Friday’s press conference, Eddie Howe deflected responsibility for the decision, leaving it to higher-ups to determine the immediate course of action regarding Ashworth’s presence at the club.
Howe’s remarks implied a desire for a swift resolution to the situation.
Ashworth’s Last Days at Newcastle
Despite the brewing uncertainty, Ashworth remained involved over the weekend, participating in scouting meetings and witnessing Newcastle’s 2-2 draw against Bournemouth.
However, he formally communicated his desire to leave on Sunday, marking the culmination of his 20-month tenure with the club.
Transition to Manchester United
Dan Ashworth is now poised to lead the restructuring of football operations at Old Trafford, marking a significant transition under the new part-ownership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos group.
His primary responsibility will be overseeing recruitment strategies for Manchester United.
Negotiations with Newcastle
The timeline for Ashworth’s official move to Manchester United hinges on ongoing discussions with Newcastle throughout the week. The outcome of these negotiations will determine when he assumes his new role at Old Trafford.
