Former Manchester United right-back Gary Neville expects Dan Ashworth to be given the authority to make his mark at Old Trafford should the club succeed in attracting him from his current role as Newcastle United sporting director.
After making his name as the FA's director of elite development, Ashworth resigned from that post in 2018 to become Brighton and Hove Albion's technical director. His successes at the Amex attracted the attention of the newly-moneyed Newcastle United in February 2022, with the Magpies moving to appoint him as sporting director.
