If Dan Ashworth can be hired in time, Manchester United may challenge Liverpool for Crystal Palace center defender Marc Guehi’s services, the Telegraph reports.
Ashworth, an acknowledged admirer of the England international, expressed interest in recruiting Guehi to Newcastle United before to departing from the Magpies.
Nevertheless, Ashworth’s ability to be hired in time for the summer window may determine whether or not Man United can enter the market for the Palace star. Newcastle has placed their former sporting director on gardening leave after he informed them that he wants to join the Red Devils.
The Old Trafford club is trying to name the former technical director of Brighton & Hove Albion as their sporting director, and the Magpies are playing hardball.
Manchester United may compete Liverpool for Crystal Palace center defender Marc Guehi’s services if Dan Ashworth can be hired in time, according to the Telegraph.
Before leaving Newcastle United, Ashworth—who is a known fan of the England international—said he was interested in signing Guehi. However, Man United’s chances of acquiring the Palace player may depend on Ashworth’s ability to secure a job in time for the summer transfer window. After he told Newcastle he wanted to join the Red Devils, the former sporting director was placed on gardening leave. The Magpies are playing hardball as the Old Trafford club attempts to appoint the former Brighton & Hove Albion technical director as their sports director.
