The hierarchy behind Manchester United’s transfer decisions has undergone a “major recalibration”, with Jason Wilcox assuming the role of director of football while reports claim that Sir Dave Brailsford will take a step back.
Wilcox left Southampton to become United’s technical director in April 2024. Two months later, Dan Ashworth was officially appointed as the club’s sporting director before he was sacked at great expense in early December. Wilcox had taken on some of the responsibilities of his departed colleague and now his promotion to a senior position has been made official.
