    After roping in Ashworth as the new sporting director of the club, United are now edging closer to appointing their former player Michael Appleton as the loan manager, according to The Sun.

He later went on to manage clubs like Portsmouth, Blackburn Rovers and Leicester City.

    The report further claims that Appleton will join the transfer team headed by Ashworth and will be in charge of managing the loan deals in and out. Ex-Tranmere manager Les Perry used to handle the loan deals earlier but he is now all set to be replaced by Appleton.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    The 48-year-old had earlier worked with Ashworth at West Brom where he began his coaching career as a caretaker manager in 2011. The duo are known to share a very close bond.
