Exciting times at Old Trafford! 🌟 Manchester United has officially set their sights on Southampton's Director of Football, Jason Wilcox, according to ESPN’s recent report.
Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe stepped in as the minority owner back in February, the \"Red Devils\" have been on a mission to revamp their recruitment game. They've already sealed the deal with Omar Berrada, the former Chief Football Operations Officer from Manchester City, who has joined as the new CEO. 💼✨
Wilcox, who previously collaborated with Berrada at City, left Southampton in summer 2023. Now, United is eager to bring him on board to strengthen their scouting and player acquisition strategies.
Southampton, battling it out in the EFL Championship, has accepted United’s compensation offer. However, the timing isn't ideal as they’re in a tight race for Premier League promotion. Currently sitting in fourth place with 74 points from 38 games, they trail third-placed Leicester City by 11 points after 39 games. 🏆🔥
As United continues to build a powerhouse team, the potential addition of Wilcox could be a game-changer. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting transfer saga! 🔴⚽🌍
