Newcastle United have announced that the club have reached an agreement with Man Utd over Dan Ashworth, confirming that our former sporting director has been ‘immediately released’ from his contractual obligations on Tyneside.
After being placed on gardening leave back in February, where he expressed his desire to join Man Utd (after a host of secret emails), the Red Devils have been eager to appoint the 53-year-old.
However, only four and a half months later have Man Utd agreed terms over a compensation package, allowing Newcastle to secure a fee for Ashworth, avoiding an arbitration hearing and seeing the director start work in Manchester.
Newcastle’s statement reads: “Newcastle United and Manchester United have reached an agreement for the immediate release of Dan Ashworth from his contractual obligations at Newcastle United. The terms of this agreement will remain confidential between the clubs. Newcastle United thanks Dan for his service and wishes him well for the future.”
