Manchester United fans are all saying the same thing about ‘dream’ Ineos appointment

Add as preferred source on Google

Manchester United could be about to make possibly the most impressive appointment they possibly could as sporting director.

With the Premier League approving Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 25% takeover of Manchester United, it’s just a matter of time before further appointments are made.

After the incredible acquisition of Manchester City’s CFOO, Omar Berrada to become the new CEO, it’s been clear that Ineos isn’t playing around.

Taking a man like Berrada from our arch-rivals has made expectations high for the next appointment.

Now, it seems that the next name could be another coup, taken from a direct rival with Newcastle’s sporting director Dan Ashworth the man Ineos want in what would be a huge arrival.

Fabrizio Romano has now labelled Ashworth as the ‘top target’ and that United have been working on the appointment for weeks.

After this news broke, fans reacted.

Manchester United fans react to possible Dan Ashworth appointment

After it emerged that Ashworth was back on the cards, United fans took to X, lauding what would be a ‘dream’ appointment from the club.

One fan wrote: “Sir Jim, wow. Just wow. You are doing things that I never even imagined.”

A second echoed this sentiment: “City’s Group’s CFOO as our CEO, and a resurgent Newcastle’s Sporting Director under Saudi ownership as our Sporting Director. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, I wasn’t familiar with your game.”

Another fan labelled Ashworth arriving as a ‘dream’ appointment: “The reason we’ve been awful for the last 10 years is because we had no footballing structure. Money and convincing players has never been an issue. Ratcliffe is selling me a dream”.

Lastly, a fan commended Sir Jim for his brilliant decisions thus far: “Sir Jim Ratcliffe making all the right choices so far, has to be applauded.”

Manchester United could make the biggest statement possible

There is simply no way to make a bigger statement than by taking a key figure from a rival club and that’s exactly what United are looking to do.

If Ashworth leaves Newcastle for Old Trafford it’ll be a massive sign that the club are back and a serious club once more.

After years of having a horrible time on the pitch and off, this single appointment could transform United which makes the fact the Glazers put Ed Woodward in charge look absolutely ridiculous.

This is the biggest appointment United could make and if it happens, a return to the top is likely imminent.
