His minority acquisition of Manchester United has recently bestowed upon him authority over the organization’s football operations. United are presently without a number of significant personnel due to a reorganization in which Ratcliffe is seeking to appoint his own individuals.

Ashworth, who excelled for the FA and Brighton and Hove Albion prior to Newcastle’s approach, was designated as a primary target by the Ineos executive. The club is in the process of replacing departing sporting director John Murtough.

According to a previous report by The Athletic, Newcastle, whose success can be attributed to Ashworth’s efforts, would request a seven-figure sum in compensation in exchange for the release of one of their most valuable assets. It is now recognized that Ratcliffe is willing to expend any means necessary to secure Ashworth’s support.

United intends to appoint a new sporting director and head of recruitment to collaborate with Sir Dave Brailsford, Jean-Claude Blanc, and Ratcliffe, with Ineos having final approval on key decisions, including transfers, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

The aforementioned positions constitute the uppermost three in a football club, with the fourth being that of a manager, which renders that quartet exceedingly formidable and confined.
