Dan Ashworth Joins Manchester United as Sporting Director

Settlement reached with Newcastle United allows Ashworth to start immediately, ending a four-month dispute.

Dan Ashworth leaves Newcastle United after a confidential compensation agreement was made with Manchester United.
Ashworth had been on gardening leave since February due to his desire to join Manchester United.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos team facilitated the move as part of a broader restructuring at Manchester United.
Ashworth will oversee football operations and recruitment, working closely with newly appointed technical director Jason Wilcox.
Newcastle United benefits from the settlement as they navigate financial regulations and prepare for new signings.
