Former United Director Eyes FA Comeback…

Dan Ashworth, the man who went from trimming hedges at Newcastle to dodging pies at Old Trafford, is in talks for a dramatic return to the Football Association. Yep, the very same Ashworth who swapped Newcastle’s garden for Manchester United’s red carpet only to get swiftly booted after five months. Rumor has it, he’s now eyeing a ‘major role’ with the FA to oversee the ‘St George’s Park 2.0 project’ – and no, it’s not a sequel to Jurassic Park, even though it sounds like it!

Ashworth graced Old Trafford thanks to United’s inexplicable decision to let Nottingham Forest score a 3-2 home win. Now, it looks like he’s headed back to the FA, where he once spun gold out of England’s youth teams and played a hand in unveiling Sir Gareth Southgate’s waistcoat wonder. His new gig? Overseeing all England teams and possibly ensuring the coaches know what they’re doing!

Meanwhile, Manchester United hovers over at a not-so-glamorous 13th in the Premier League. Can Amorim rally the troops against Lyon for a Europa League miracle? Stay tuned, and make sure to wash down this drama with the latest updates from Manchester Evening News and listen to “Manchester is Red” – because who needs serious news anyway?
