Manchester United are confident of taking Dan Ashworth from Newcastle, talkSPORT understands.
The former Brighton transfer guru is Sir Jim Ratcliffe's top target to become their new sporting director.

Ratcliffe's 25 per cent stake in Man United has now been ratified by the Premier League, and he wants to appoint a head of recruitment to work with Ashworth at Old Trafford.
The Englishman joined Newcastle in 2022, but the Magpies are now braced for his departure from St James' Park.
Ashworth was officially confirmed as the Magpies' director of football in February 2022, but served a period of gardening leave before joining the Toon in the summer.
Immediately, he helped Newcastle complete a cut-price deal for Nick Pope and a club-record transfer involving Alexander Isak.
