Man United officially appointed Dan Ashworth as sporting director at the start of this month after lengthy negotiations.
Dan Ashworth has described addressing Erik ten Hag's future as his 'first big decision' as Manchester United's sporting director.
Ashworth was Ratcliffe's priority target for United's inaugural sporting director role and his appointment from Newcastle is expected to overhaul the club's recruitment. “Although I grew up in Norfolk, I’ve always had a strong attachment with Manchester because my mum and dad were born in Middleton and my grandparents lived their whole lives there. When I visited as a boy, my dad would take me to games across Greater Manchester and I remember the thrill of my first visit to Old Trafford in the late 1970s, watching the likes of Lou Macari, Jimmy Nicholl and Arthur Albiston.
“We are all clear that last season fell below the required standards in the Premier League and Champions League but, by winning the FA Cup in such impressive fashion, our players and staff showed what they are capable of when everyone pulls together and performs to their potential.
