Is Dan Ashworth a marquee signing that Dan Ashworth would recommend?

The lines of credit and responsibility in football are unclear, so how can Manchester United put a value on a sporting director?

WORTHY OF AN ASHWORTH GO AHEAD? Dan Ashworth. Manchester United are hoping to bring in Newcastle sporting director Ashworth

Newcastle United are demanding around £20m from Manchester United for their sporting director, Dan Ashworth. That’s a lot of money, and I wanted to know whether he could possibly be worth it, but it was hard to tell for sure.

I went on the popular search website Google and there were lots of articles saying that he definitely was, that Dan Ashworth is a genius who buys footballers for tiny amounts and sells them for hundreds of millions.
