Manchester United could overtake Liverpool and Dan Ashworth would be a better appointment than Richard Hughes.

That's according to the ex Nottingham ForestWatford and West Brom sporting director Luke Dowling.

United are interested in Newcastle athletic director Ashworth and I maintain the hope of naming him.

LiverpoolOn the other hand, they have acted quickly to appoint Bournemouth technical director hughes as part of your life plan Jurgen Klopp.

Speaking about White and Jordan, Dowling revealed that he believes the Red Devils They are getting a better deal with Ashworth than Liverpool were with Hughes.

“I think Dan's reputation tells you that, in my opinion, Man United have the best person,” he told talkSPORT.

“I think about what he has done with the FA, the impact he had at Brighton and what he would have built in Newcastle in the longer term.

“I sit here and say that if we look back in five years, I think Man United would have had a better deal with Dan Ashworth.

“That's not to say Richard Hughes isn't capable, of course he is.

“I think it will really help Richard start his relationship with Michael Edwards (incoming CEO of football) and help him settle in.

“The best thing Richard Hughes has at Liverpool is Barry Hunter (chief scout) and Dave Fallows (head of recruitment), who are exceptional at their jobs and phenomenal.

“That's what Hughes has and Dan Ashworth doesn't have.”

Dowling, however, waxed lyrical about the qualities Ashworth could bring to Old Trafford.

“I think when he joins Man United, whenever that may be, from the fans' point of view, they will just look at the signings, because that's what the fans do, and rightly so,” he added.

“Although what Dan will do is come in and look at everything: the recruiting, the structure, the medical aspect, the injury history of this season and how to improve it.

“It will also look at travel, how they travel, so Dan will come in, and I'm sure first and foremost it will be the players and how they can improve on the field.

“Although he will examine all departments and play an important role in the academy.

“Dan will come in, yes, recruitment is a huge thing behind any football club, but behind that, he will go through things that the fans don't see.”
