The official appointment of Dan Ashworth at Manchester United remains uncertain, as the 52-year-old is currently on leave from his previous position at Newcastle. The success of the Magpies, following their acquisition by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), owes much to Ashworth’s contributions within the hierarchy at St. James’ Park. Consequently, his departure is expected to have a significant impact on the club, particularly affecting individuals like Eddie Howe and assistant manager, Jason Tindall. Ashworth’s influence at the club can be observed through a specific decision he made, which prevented Newcastle from signing additional players. According to inews, Ashworth dissuaded the club from pursuing attacking midfielders, as he believed that Elliot Anderson was the ideal fit for the role. Time has proven him right, ultimately saving the club a substantial sum of money. This decision is likely one of many astute moves that have propelled the club in the right direction. Ashworth’s next venture appears to be at Old Trafford, where he will likely aim to replicate his previous successes.
