Gossip: Dan Ashworth to bring Bruno Guimaraes to Manchester United

Dan Ashworth could bring Bruno Guimaraes to Manchester United with him from Newcastle, according to claims in Spanish media.

As is the case with a lot of transfer speculation, you can most of it with a pinch of salt.

Ashworth is set to become sporting director at United – moving from Newcastle, who may be forced to cash in on their most prized asset to fund further squad investment, so if you join the dots you’ll have a story.

Brazilian midfielder Guimaraes has been hugely impressive for Newcastle, and it would be a huge kick in the teeth for their fans to lose him to a bigger Premier League club.
