Dan Ashworth’s sudden departure from Manchester United has sent shockwaves through English football. After only six months at Old Trafford, the highly respected executive is now a free agent, sparking speculation about his next move. Arsenal, in search of a replacement for Edu Gaspar following his unexpected exit, might see Ashworth as the ideal candidate to take over the reins at the Emirates.

Ashworth’s track record is impeccable, having built a stellar reputation during his tenures at Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United. His work at Brighton transformed the club into a model of sustainable success, and at Newcastle, he helped lay the groundwork for their resurgence as a Premier League force. These achievements caught Manchester United’s eye, leading them to secure his services with a significant fee. However, his departure from United marks an unexpected turn in his career.

A report from The Daily Mail suggests that Arsenal has added Ashworth to their shortlist of potential candidates. Known for his strategic acumen and ability to build cohesive footballing structures, Ashworth could bring valuable expertise to Arsenal as they strive to reclaim their position at the pinnacle of English football. His extensive network and understanding of player recruitment and development make him a strong contender for the role.

Edu in happier times

Arsenal’s decision will hinge not only on Ashworth’s credentials but also on his compatibility with Mikel Arteta’s vision. A close working relationship between the club’s technical director and manager is crucial, and the club must ensure Ashworth aligns with Arteta’s strategic objectives.

If appointed, Ashworth could provide the stability and expertise Arsenal needs to challenge for the Premier League title. His ability to navigate the complexities of modern football and his history of success suggests he would be a valuable asset in helping the Gunners achieve their ambitions.

  1. Dan Ashworth mayne appointed by Arsenal their next Sporting Director. Who will replace Edu Gasper who has voluntarily and surprisingly left the position last month.. And took up a new more lucrative appointment elsewhere.
    If Dan Ashworth does get the job eventually. Us Arsenal hopes are,he’ll in his role perform exceptionally well for Arsenal.
    To see that the club sign the exceptional new top class quality players during his tenure. And who can improve the Arsenal’s races performance quality to win titles .That includes the major ones of the Epl, Ucl and others. And be winning them regularly.

  2. In our today Wednesday night Ucl home match against AS Monaco. Us Arsenal prayers and hopes are that. The Gunners who will srarr thr match and the ones who will come off the bench for it. Will all turn up extraordinarily well in their performance for Arsenal in the match.
    And beat Monaco resoundingly well in the match encounter. To not leave any stone in the match playing to beat them totally in it. And thus continue with guaranteeing on the night of the Arsenall passage to the knockout stage of round of 16 teams.
    My predicted Arsenal stating XI team foe Monaco.
    Raya.
    Timber Saliba Calafiori Kiwior.
    Partey.
    Saka Havertz Martinelli.
    My predicated final score-line: Arsenal 4-0 Monaco.

    1. Samuel, by all accounts, Timber, Partey, and Califiori are all out injured, so this is a good opportunity for Tierney to make a start.

  3. Will not work, Dan spots talent, Mikel spots rejects and flops, thinks he can earn brownies if /when the flops turn around their carrier. Kai has set AFC alight in the EPL with 18 goals in 51 matches, just saying, we do not need a proven striker because Mikel has to answer for the spending of 65 M GBP. The EPL table stats show CFC are 2 points clear of AFC and have scored 6 more goals.

    1. I have been getting the picture over a couple of weeks that you are no fan of Arteta and this is just another one.

      I’m seriously wondering if I should take your remarks seriously. Dan Ashworth, by all accounts, wanted to appoint Gareth Southgate as Ten Hag’s replacement.

      1. Not sure Ten Hag or Southgate have anything to do with his comment. He’s speaking facts; Jorginho, Havertz, Sterling, Jesus, Zinchenko, Cedric…all unwanted at their clubs when we bought them.

        Well, I haven’t criticized Arteta directly for quite some time now. I only usually say that if Slot or Maresca wins the League this season, what Arteta will be asked will be more than mere questions.

        And wait a minute. Aren’t you the one who consistently asks people to name any other capable manager who can take over from Arteta? Correct me if I’m wrong pls

  4. No to your last comment unless you’re talking about 3 to 4 years ago when the situation was very different. I called for patience during what was a difficult transition from two experienced and successful managers through to taking on a rookie. I do think that you should be careful what you wish for and that was my view then and now.
    Cedric was only signed as stop gap in January and signed permanently by Sanhelli when Arteta was still the coach. Sterling is a season long loan. I’d ask why it matters if a player is surplus at another club?
