It has been claimed that Ashworth has asked to leave Newcastle to join the Red Devils, with the Premier League clubs now set to negotiate a major fee. Cristiano Ronaldo cost Man Utd around £19m in 2021But the Daily Telegraph claims that United might need to pay a whopping £20m to prise Ashworth out of St. James’ Park.
