Manchester United has set their sights firmly on Dan Ashworth, currently associated with Newcastle, as their prime candidate for the pivotal role of Sporting Director
Ashworth's Vision for United's Scouting Department
Reports from ESPN reveal that Ashworth's top priority at the helm will be the complete overhaul of United's scouting department. And the man he's eyeing to spearhead this revolution? None other than Brighton's mastermind, Sam Jewell!
Jewell, has been quietly orchestrating Brighton's transfer coups, making waves in the football world. Since Ashworth's arrival in 2018, Jewell's star has been on the rise, climbing the ranks to become Brighton's head of recruitment.
His magic touch in the transfer market has seen Brighton secure gems like Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo, turning them into household names. But it's his South American scouting prowess that's truly turned heads, snatching up emerging talents for peanuts and flipping them for massive profits!
While United's formal approach to Jewell is still pending, Ashworth's admiration for the Brighton whiz is no secret. In fact, he's touted Jewell as the perfect addition to United's scouting dream team, ready to bring his Midas touch to Old Trafford.
Mitchell and Other Contenders
While Jewell remains the frontrunner, rumors suggest that Man United had also considered Paul Mitchell, a renowned figure in the footballing world. However, Mitchell has reportedly turned down United's advances according to Metro, leaving the spotlight firmly on Jewell as the potential recruit.
The Next Move for Manchester United
