Jason Wilcox, Manchester United’s director of football, has provided more insight into how the club plans to handle future transfer windows. He also explained why Old Trafford is showing signs of improvement. Ruben Amorim’s impressive spell of four consecutive wins in the Premier League was key to the recent turnaround in United’s form.
The Portuguese coach’s first year in Manchester ended with a draw at Nottingham Forest. Wilcox says that ‘progress in every area is being made’. United’s performance has improved. Old Trafford’s confidence was shaken by the record-low Premier League finish last season.

We are progressing on and off-the-field, and the players know it.”I spoke to MUTV last week, and I said that we are making progress with our facilities, our structures, and staff. What we have to do, despite the noise, is to remain calm and understand that we are moving in a good direction.”We will face bumps on the road.

We would like to have the puzzle pieces all in one place so that we can see an extremely clear picture.”But as we build the picture, this is really important.

Wilcox explained, “I and Ruben will prepare the brief.””It will go to Chris.” [Vivell]Then the scouts go to the market.”We’ll combine it with the data-team, and they will just be in constant dialogue. Right now I have weekly meetings with the recruiting team to discuss the different profiles.”The costs and the different age groups, can they be attainable by Ruben too? This is a really integrated approach.When we sign a player there are many people involved, including the data team.”We’ll then focus our entire attention on specific players. The background check is very important.”Are they professionals who live a clean lifestyle? This is very important. We looked for Premier League-ready players.”Certainly with Brian [Mbeumo] Matheus [Cunha]We could not take any risks in this regard.”We needed players we could quickly plug in to play. Senne [Lammens]Senne, a goalkeeper with a lot of potential, was available. The decision to move was not a rash one.”Tony Cotton [Man Utd goalkeeper scout] Senne was on my radar a year ago, and he continued to do so.This guy will be a great signing for us.
