To be fair they weren't reporting the Ashworth story, they did an interview with Paul Barber from Brighton who stated Man Utd will have to accept NUFC's demands. Usual clickbait ****.
There’s talk that Dan was holding up the contract discussions on NUFC’s side with Joelinton. If true.. could there have been a reason?
Seems off that doesn’t it. The only thing I can think of is he was hoping to cash in to buy some players?
According to The Times, Rui Pedro Braz (Benfica Sporting Director) has flown to the UK and been interviewed by NUFC for Ashworth's position.

He can bring this kid with him aswell. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joao-neves/profil/spieler/670681
The summary for those that don't speak Portugese..... Rui Pedro Braz has lost all sense of his brain cells. The Benfica sporting Director is to hold talks with Newcastle United's top brass in England with a view to replacing the soon to be appointed Dan Ashworth at Manchester United. Pedro Braz can look forward to being accused of purchasing English Plodders from the Toon Army's fanatical Bed Wetter division.
