“Newcastle United” may lose a very important person in management.

The English media has been trumpeting for several days that “Manchester United” is trying to lure sports director Dan Ashworth away from “Newcastle.”. Due to this situation, “Magpies” head coach Eddie Howe is concerned.

According to the Telegraph, E. Howe is concerned that D. Ashworth will reveal “Newcastle” transfer secrets to the “Red Devils.”. The clever sports director previously worked for “Brighton” and contributed greatly to the success of the previous season at “Newcastle.”

“Manchester United” also wants to attract Southampton football director Jason Wilcox.

Both Wilcox and Ashworth have already spoken with the new “Manchester United” chief executive Omar Berrada, reports the Guardian. The latter came from the Manchester City club.
