Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary manager of Manchester United, has reportedly given his blessing to the club’s plan to sign Dan Ashworth away from Newcastle United.
The 52-year-old will soon take over as sporting director for Manchester United.
Now that the British millionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is in control of Old Trafford’s football operations, he is planning to reorganize the club.
Even though Omar Berrada has come over from Manchester City, Ratcliffe is still looking for a sporting director to manage the football department.
If United’s first choice, Ashworth, decides to leave Newcastle, they will have to wait for him to finish a lengthy gardening leave while paying a substantial compensation sum.
It is evident that Ferguson supported the decision, and the wait will be worthwhile due to Ashworth’s reputation as the greatest in the industry.
