Man Utd now think Ratcliffe has Newcastle's number after Ashworth update

A new update regarding Manchester United's pursuit of Dan Ashworth from Newcastle United has revealed some leverage for Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Ashworth became the new part-owner of the Red Devils earlier this year, as he looks to steadily gain more and more control of his boyhood club from the Glazers. It's fair to say that the billionaire businessman has made his presence felt in his first few months, making it clear that he wants to switch things up behind the scenes, bringing in a sporting director and copying the model of so many successful clubs in the Premier League and across Europe.
