Manchester United are reportedly keen on appointing Newcastle United transfer expert Dan Ashworth this year.
A report from i News has claimed that Manchester United have now prioritised a move for Dan Ashworth at the end of the season. They are hoping to bring in a quality replacement for John Murtough, and Ashworth is high up on their wish list.
He has done an impressive job at Newcastle United so far, helping them sign quality players since the takeover. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for Manchester United.
Dan Ashworth to rebuild the Manchester United squad?
The Red Devils are in desperate need of his expertise in the transfer market. They have been quite mediocre with their transfer business since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. They have spent more money than any club in English football. But they have not been able to put together a title-winning squad yet.
Most of their big-money signings have flopped in recent years, and Manchester United need to make better use of their resources. Appointing a transfer expert would be a wise decision and a step in the right direction.
Ashworth could make a big difference for them with their resources in the transfer market. Manchester United recently spent around £150 million on Jadon Sancho and Antony. Both players have been largely underwhelming, and Manchester United are now left with a dysfunctional attack.
If Ashworth can bring in better players with that money, there is no reason why Manchester United cannot compete for major trophies in the coming seasons. It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils can get the deal done. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be hard to turn down for anyone. Ashworth will certainly look at it as a step up in his career.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United will be disappointed to lose him, and it remains to be seen whether they can replace him adequately. They have done reasonably well in the transfer market in recent seasons, and they will need to be intelligent with their transfer business to match up to the Premier League elite.
