From Red Devils to Desert Deals…
Dan Ashworth might soon swap rainy Manchester for the sunny sands of Saudi Arabia, as he’s reportedly in secret talks to become the sporting director for Al-Nassr. This club isn’t your typical underdog; it boasts star-studded players like Cristiano Ronaldo and his gang of superstars. Now, with the Saudi Public Investment Fund cheering from the sidelines, Ashworth could soon manage some serious bling-bling transfers!
After leaving Manchester United faster than a football boot at a dog park, Ashworth was on a football sabbatical, contemplating chemistry and sipping tea. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United’s bossman at the time, hinted that management chemistry was less productive and more explosive. They seemed to have had more chemistry in their tea kettle than in the boardroom! Anyway, it seems Ashworth is now ready for a new football fling in the Middle East.
If Ashworth’s talent-making dreams come true, he might join the ranks of former Manchester pals like Erik ten Hag, who, in hindsight, was another historic misstep according to Ratcliffe’s regretful ramblings. Meanwhile, Ashworth has kept busy with cricket consultancy, perhaps polishing his bowling skills in case Manchester wants a rematch with Warwickshire!
