Newcastle United sporting director Dan Ashworth is approached by Manchester United about a move to Old Trafford.
Ashworth has a long-standing relationship with Ineos head of sport Sir Dave Brailsford.If a deal is agreed, it would be another significant move by Ineos, whose 25% ownership of Manchester United is set to be confirmed early next week.
In addition to Brailsford and Jean Claude Blanc taking seats on the football club board, they have also come together with the Glazer family to bring Omar Berrada in from Manchester City as their new chief executive.Ashworth is also likely to have to serve a period of leave, as was the case when he left Brighton before joining Newcastle in 2022.
He then helped to shape Brighton's rise up the Premier League through the appointment of Graham Potter as manager after Chris Hughton was sacked.Brailsford led British cycling to unprecedented success on the track before moving across to the road with the former Sky team, which now races under Ineos' colours.United's recruitment in particular has been poor in recent years, with former chief executive Richard Arnold candidly admitting to fans the club had 'burned' £1bn.
While Ten Hag says the decision over a new sporting director is not up to him, he added it's important that whoever is appointed is "on the same page".
