Revealed: How much Man United need to pay as compensation to sign Dan Ashworth

Manchester United are eyeing a move to secure Newcastle United's Dan Ashworth as the new sporting director.

Since Ashworth joined Newcastle only two seasons back, the Red Devils will be required to pay a steep compensation.

According to The Telegraph, cited by the Sunderland Echo, the Magpies are expecting to demand over £10 million to break the contract.

If Sir Jim Ratcliffe is indeed prioritising a move for Ashworth, Newcastle's demands might not change his mind.
