Groundhog Day for Wilcox? Revisiting Man Utd's dramatic last trip to Elland Road
Story updated
The story in brief
34-second readManchester United go into Sunday's game at Elland Road in a position they are all too familiar with. The players are under pressure. And perhaps there is no one more under pressure than Jason Wilcox.
The club's director of football was the target of Lisandro Martinez's post-match outburst following the defeat to Atletico Madrid in midweek, with the Argentine singling him out for not doing enough to prepare for the club's return to the Champions League.
Martinez issued an apology on Thursday after internal talks, and Wilcox still has the backing of his bosses at Old Trafford. But he must be starting to think there is something in the Yorkshire water as he was also the centre of controversy the last time Manchester United visited Leeds.
