As such, United are expected to soon announce that Ashworth is free to take up his role at the club.
Ashworth will oversee football operations at United, with Simon Wilcox acting as sporting director..
Newcastle had been demanding £20m to release Ashworth from his contract, while United's latest offer before mediation had reached only £2m.
