Man United want Dan Ashworth to be their new sporting director.

He has been placed on gardening leave after informing Newcastle of his desire to leave the club.

But Newcastle want a huge fee of 20 MILLION pounds to release Ashworth from his contract.

So how will this tussle between the two clubs play out as both teams chase Champions League football next season.

And why is Ashworth so sought after?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Manchester United writer Laurie Whitwell and Newcastle correspondent Chris Waugh.
