The Dan Ashworth saga drags on and on, with Manchester United still unable to reach an agreement with Newcastle United.
Their dream of having Dan Ashworth in place ahead of the 2024 summer transfer window is not going to become a reality, unless there is a remarkable turn of events in the next 24 hours.
In truth, Newcastle United have never wanted to let Ashworth start work at Old Trafford this summer. And that is understandable, given the fact he has been in and around the club as they plan what transfer business to do ahead of the 2024/25 season.
But the fact that compensation still has not been agreed is ridiculous, with neither side willing to bend.
It was previously reported that Man United did not want to pay the £15million that the Magpies were looking for, insisting that the money would be better spent on transfers during a summer in which finances will be tight.
Man United still unwilling to pay Newcastle what is required for Dan Ashworth
And it would appear that Man United have not changed their stance, with the Telegraph reporting that the Red Devils are no closer to reaching an agreement.
According to the Telegraph, Man United are only willing to pay £3million to buy out Dan Ashworth’s contract.
That is £12million less than what Toon officials want, with the report stating that Newcastle are looking to receive £15million plus add-ons.
Newcastle are not going to budge, and nor should they. And you have to imagine their position is strengthened by Ashworth’s email blunder that emerged last month.
