Newcastle United are reportedly expected to lose Dan Ashworth in the summer, and they have already lined up a potential replacement in Scott McLachlan.
According to TEAMtalk, Newcastle United are looking to bring in former Chelsea transfer expert Scott McLachlan as a replacement for Dan Ashworth, who is expected to head to Manchester United.
McLachlan did an impressive job at Chelsea in the past, and he could prove to be a quality addition to the Newcastle United hierarchy. Ashworth has done an impressive job since taking over at Newcastle, and the Magpies must replace the Manchester United-bound man adequately.
The Tyneside outfit have brought him some talented players since the takeover, and Scott McLachlan will be expected to carry on the impressive recruitment in the coming seasons. The opportunity to join Newcastle will be an attractive option for the former Chelsea transfer guru.
The Magpies are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they have the resources to put together a formidable squad. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in quality signings at the end of the season. Newcastle also showed interest in Richard Hughes before losing out to Liverpool.
Scott McLachlan could relish Newcastle challenge
Newcastle United will have to improve their squad to get back into the UEFA Champions League and compete for major trophies. McLachlan knows what it takes to work at a top club, and he could use the experience from his time at Chelsea to improve Newcastle in the coming seasons.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are working to seal the appointment of Dan Ashworth, and it remains to be seen whether the two clubs can iron out an agreement soon and move on with their future plans. Ashworth is expected to lead the rebuild at Manchester United following the arrival of new owners.
He did an impressive job at Newcastle, and he will be expected to fix the recruitment problems at Old Trafford now. Manchester United have spent significant sums of money on new signings but they have not been able to get the best out of them. Ashworth will be expected to bring in players who can make an immediate impact and improve the team.
