Really? Man Utd try to low-ball Newcastle on Ashworth

However, United co-owner Ratcliffe has been reluctant to pay the 13 million or more that Newcastle want for Ashworth.

Per The Telegraph, Ratcliffe made a 2 million offer, but Newcastle want that upped to at least 15 million.

They are even asking for a further 5 million in add-ons, depending on how the Red Devils perform in the coming years.

There is no indication that the two parties are close to finding an agreement.
