Newcastle United’s sporting director Dan Ashworth has been linked with a potential departure from the club, and Manchester United are looking to finalize his appointment in the near future. The Red Devils are expected to provide compensation and bring them on board as their new sporting director.
Meanwhile, Newcastle is in need of a high-quality replacement for Ashworth, who has excelled in the club’s transfer market endeavors. One name that has emerged as a potential candidate for the Premier League club is Michael Edwards. Edwards showcased exceptional skills during his time at Liverpool, successfully acquiring top-tier players for reasonable fees. Additionally, he demonstrated an ability to maximize the value of Liverpool’s players when selling them for substantial sums.
Reportedly, Edwards shares a close friendship with Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe, and it remains to be seen if this connection will aid in securing his services for Newcastle. Despite recently declining an opportunity to return to Liverpool, it is uncertain whether Edwards is open to another Premier League role. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that he would be a valuable addition, having already proven his worth at a prestigious club like Liverpool.
