Manchester United have finally agreed a compensation deal with Newcastle United to hire Dan Ashworth as the team\u2019s new sporting director.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Ashworth has been on gardening leave at Newcastle for over four months after expressing a desire to join United, but the two clubs found themselves locked in a lengthy financial battle.<\/p>\n
Reports suggested Newcastle were looking for close to \u00a320m to release Ashworth from his contract, with\u00a0United\u00a0initially well below that figure, and it was believed that United were prepared to fund a legal battle from Ashworth to try and force through an agreement.<\/p>\n
That will no longer be necessary as\u00a0The Athletic<\/em>\u00a0state a deal has now been struck to take Ashworth to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Ashworth is expected to begin work immediately at United as the new sporting director, working alongside technical director Jason Wilcox.<\/p>\n

Ashworth is set to be given responsibility for recruitment and overall performance, with Wilcox to report to the former Brighton & Hove Albion and Football Association official.<\/p>\n
Chief executive Omar Berrada will officially join United on July 13 when his agreement with rivals Manchester City expires.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the biggest issues in football, which I have to say I wasn\u2019t fully prepared for, was the gardening leave issue,\u201d a frustrated co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe told\u00a0Bloomberg<\/em>\u00a0last month.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see absolutely no point in the gardening leave thing that they have in football. It just makes it difficult to change things with pace because Omar is on six months, Dan Ashworth is on one-and-a-half years.<\/p>\n
\u201cNewcastle are just being very difficult and very awkward about Dan. Until you get the people in, it\u2019s quite difficult to drive the change and it\u2019s just frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
