Manchester United and Newcastle Still £13m Apart on Deal for Sporting Director Dan Ashworth
Subtle Differences in Strategy
Manchester United and Newcastle United remain £13 million apart in their valuations of Brighton & Hove Albion's sporting director, Dan Ashworth, as the two clubs continue to negotiate a potential deal.
United's Ambitious Plan
Manchester United are reportedly prepared to offer Ashworth a salary of £5 million per year, while Newcastle are only willing to pay £3 million per year. This difference in salary expectations has been a major sticking point in the negotiations.
Newcastle's Careful Approach
Newcastle, on the other hand, are said to be hesitant to pay such a high salary for Ashworth, who has only been in his current role for a year and a half. The Magpies are also mindful of the fact that they have already spent heavily in the transfer market this summer.
Time Running Out
With the start of the new Premier League season just over a month away, time is running out for the two clubs to reach an agreement. If a deal cannot be reached, Ashworth is likely to remain at Brighton.
