Manchester United are planning to make a formal approach to Newcastle for sporting director Dan Ashworth.
It is understood the Newcastle chief is top of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s list to front up his new football operation at Old Trafford, although no formal approach has yet been made.
Newcastle would be reluctant to let Ashworth leave but the 52-year-old is privately open to exploring the potential opportunity to join Man Utd.
The interest in Ashworth comes after the Premier League and the Football Association both approved Ratcliffe’s proposed bid to buy a minority stake in the club.

Such a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG video yet all i needed to hear is from 2:36 to 5:45
Get In
It is weird that he can't just hand in his notice and leave, same for footballers. Imagine if you were at work and were told… we've traded you to West Brom, off you go…. move you family and get down there. So weird.
More lazy journalism, Isak and Tonali were both nothing to do with Dan. This is why non major channels are getting more views as they don’t lie or clickbait as much. Truth matters
He's got hardly anything to do with talent spotting ffs, just does the negotiations 🤣
Newcastle are in a real pickle here – needing to convince a lot of their big players to sign a new contract. how can they realistically do that when their own DOF wants to leave. they have to let him leave to utd. they don't really have a choice here
GLAZER OUT
Nick Hammond was Sporting Director for NUFC when they bought Bruno.
Tonali for 55M is exceptionally good business. he is worth over 100m easy
Kaveh, is so boring. Same old tosh day in day out no matter who the report is about.
Not gonna be gassed about this but if this really change our football glazers has blood on their hands for holding the club back
Not many of Ashworth's signings would get into the Man Utd team.
An Era has began
6 minutes of the waffler saying bugger all again, why do I fall for it every time?
Hi MANCHESTER United casemiro LOOKING Forwar
United would surely need some one like him for the business
Stop confusing! You guys said earlier Man Utd signings suck because they don't have a proper SD, now you're saying there are lots of people behind transfers and not just SD alone. Get your arguments straight.
Let's be clear here he didn't sign anyone!!!! The manager buys the players
It’s not called a graveyard for nothing…
Paul Jewels son made the signings at Brighton
Kaveh makes a fortune for reading twitter articles aloud on Sky news, absolutely stealing a living.
Livramento from Chelsea loool what?
If they’re not all Dan Ashworth signings…. Why put them in the graphic?
Ashworth is a massive PR hype job
The circus at Man U should be fun for him
I hope Ashworth stays at Newcastle
Mr Dan Notworth is the most overrated footballing sports director who does not finish the project he sells in england , jumps jobs has no stability and not won a single trophy, that Dan Notworth for u
Why they blowing smoke up ashworths arse he didn’t even bring in half of those players at Brighton and brought in a player for newcastle that was under investigation for betting
Best in business?!?!who died and made him the new”Tiki Bergistan”😂😂😂
Sky sports Fake news A.mcAllister at United what a joke👎🤣🖕Come on Liverpool FC, french fan 🇨🇵
Really dont understand the fuss . He had made signings which came with no pressure and it wouldn't matter if they were a success or a failure. Utd his signings will have to be an instant suxcess , completely different ball game. Also what happened with his due diligence with the tonali signing? Developing youth players at the FA wtf , ridiculous comment to make, ita the clubs who develop.
He was paid to negotiate deals for the players he didn't pick them.
Check your facts, he did not sign all them players you have listed for NUFC, most of them were at the club before he arrived, but there again it’s Sky Sports so we can’t expect anything else can we, it’s lazy reporting at it’s worst. Put Ashworth on garden duty for two years and charge 20 million compensation
Don't be fooled by those newcastle 'signings' that he 'made' – look at the bargains and profit he got for brighton, he didn't try as hard with newcastle, he has his eyes elsewhere. Isak is his best signing and Dan didn't play much of a role in signing him, he just went in for him when we became available AGAIN, as newcastle already had interest in him, months before Dan even arrived on the tyne + Isak is very injury prone. So is Harvey Barnes… Botman is his 2nd best signing but newcastle already had him on their radar, again months before Dan's arrival, he simply just got it over the line. Newcastle massively overpaid for Gordon, but he's become worth it now, due to Eddie Howe's magnificent coaching. Livramento again was overpaid for, and doesn't get enough minutes on the pitch to justify that fee. Finally Tonali, now, I would bet any money that Dan was excited about this one, and fair play getting it over the line, but look how it turned out. In my opinion, his greatest feat was signing Nick Pope, but Sky Sports like to make a story of something if they can.
Let's not forget all those Brighton signings would've been idntified by Tony Bloom's StarLizard company for our scouting department to go and look at. Headed up firstly by Paul Winstanley and then Sam Jewell (both Chelsea have signed). The data bases and algoriythms used by StarLizard are kept in house and do not make it as far as the football club/scouting department.
So basically if he's got money he'll spend it. Where's the cheap signings for Newcastle?
He is not the best in the business lol.
