Manchester United's long-term prospects may finally be looking up after a string of positive results under new coach Ruben Amorim. Director of Football Jason Wilcox has acknowledged that progress is being made in every area, with the club now eighth in the Premier League and in touch of the top five positions.
Wilcox believes that internal knowledge is key to navigating future transfer windows. The director works closely with Amorim to understand what the team needs, before bringing in new talent through a "joined-up approach" involving multiple teams, including scouts, data analysts, and the recruitment department.
The club has made significant signings in recent months, such as Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, who have impressed with their performances and attitude. Wilcox promises more investment in the coming transfer windows, particularly for key positions like midfielder, where the club aims to re-establish itself at the top of the Premier League.
"We know what we've got to do," Wilcox said. "We've got a clear plan. We're going to continue to build on Ruben's idea and get the spirit right. It's not always about just signing elite talent; they have got to have the right character and be somebody who can bring something different to the team."
Wilcox also reassures that United is moving in the right direction, despite setbacks. "We're really clear on the direction of travel," he said. "And this is really important." The club's new signings have played a crucial role in United's recent upturn in form, and fans are now hopeful that the club can build momentum to challenge for Champions League places.
With Wilcox's promise of investment in key positions, fans may finally start to believe that Manchester United's long-term prospects are looking brighter than ever. However, it remains to be seen whether the club can sustain its recent success and achieve a top-four finish this season.
