Jason Wilcox's mistakes at Man United go beyond transfers, here's why it's embarrassing - opinion

Much has been made of Jason Wilcox’s failings in light of Lisandro Martinez ’s recent comments, but the responsibility does not end with transfers or the lack thereof.

While Michael Carrick should not be blameless for the poor start to the season, he should not be sacked, and the Director of Football should have done a better job supporting his colleague.

Every manager has their strengths and weaknesses, and Wilcox should have been able to identify what the Englishman’s strengths were and provide him with the environment needed to succeed.
