Perfect Wilcox replacement has officially left his club, United must act fast to bring him to Old Trafford - opinion
Story updated
The story in brief
31-second readManchester United’s troubled run of form has not only put Michael Carrick under pressure but also the man who handed him the permanent role, Jason Wilcox.
Lisandro Martinez’s scathing remark about Wilcox’s work over the summer has brought the club’s director of football under the spotlight. The former Manchester City man, who initially arrived at Old Trafford as technical director in 2024, has played a key role in the club’s decline under INEOS.
From failing to part ways with Erik ten Hag in a timely manner to hiring Ruben Amorim and then falling out with him after 14 months, Wilcox has frequently come out looking worse as the club’s director of football.
