Sir Alex Ferguson Backs Manchester United’s New Sporting Director Appointment.
Sir Alex Ferguson, the iconic former manager of Manchester United, has expressed his support for the club’s recent decision to recruit Dan Ashworth from Newcastle United, as reported by the UK Metro.
The 52-year-old Ashworth is poised to assume the role of sporting director at Old Trafford, a move that has garnered approval from Ferguson himself.
Following the transition of football operations under the stewardship of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a prominent British billionaire, there’s a concerted effort to revamp the club’s organizational structure.

While Omar Berrada has already made the switch from Manchester City, Ratcliffe is keen on appointing a sporting director to oversee all football-related activities.
Ashworth stands out as the top candidate for the role, although his departure from Newcastle would necessitate a significant compensation payout and a period of gardening leave.
Nevertheless, given Ashworth’s stellar reputation in the industry, the delay in his appointment is perceived as a worthwhile investment, particularly with the endorsement from Ferguson.
