Dan Ashworth, currently entangled in a potential move to Manchester United, has been placed on gardening leave by his current club, Newcastle United, after expressing his desire to join Manchester United. This development has sparked discussions around his transfer, with reports suggesting Manchester United might have to pay significant compensation, potentially amounting to millions, to secure Ashworth's services. Speculation around Ashworth's plans includes selling Marcus Rashford and three other Manchester United players if he takes up the job. Furthermore, Ashworth is 'ready to raid Chelsea' for his first signing. Martin Samuel, writing for TimesSport, highlighted the financial implications of the move, suggesting putting £60 million in the loss column for Manchester United and £60 million in the profits for Newcastle, with a compensation of £10 million considered negligible in this context.
