Manchester United confirm Dan Ashworth is clear to start work as their new sporting director.
But it is understood talks between the clubs led to an out-of-court settlement being agreed late last week that leaves Ashworth free to take up his new role.
In a joint statement, the clubs said an agreement had been reached for the "immediate release" of Ashworth from his Newcastle contract but that the details would remain confidential.new Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said it "doesn't make sense for Dan Ashworth to be sat around doing nothing for 18 months".
Ashworth previously worked at West Brom, the Football Association and Brighton before joining Newcastle in 2022. He has a long-standing relationship with Ineos head of sport Sir Dave Brailsford, dating back to Ashworth's spell at the FA.A disappointing campaign last season ended with the club winning the FA Cup.
