Manchester United have not made much progress in talks with Newcastle United about bringing in Dan Ashworth as the new sporting director.
According to The Athletic, the Magpies have been in negotiations with the Red Devils since placing Ashworth on gardening leave.
Newcastle are demanding a whopping £20 million compensation package for releasing Ashworth prematurely. However, Man United have refused to even come close to that fee.
Considering Ashworth joined Newcastle for just £4 million in June 2022, Man United, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, are hoping to drive down their asking price.
This has led to a 'stalemate' in negotiations between both sides.
The report further adds that if there is no resolution, Man United will begin looking at other alternatives for that role.
