Jason Wilcox’s future takes twist as sympathy from Man Utd hierarchy revealed

Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox faces scrutiny over his future amid poor team form, though members of the club hierarchy reportedly have sympathy for his position. While one source close to the club believes Wilcox could lose his job if United makes another managerial change, BBC Sport reports that some executives acknowledge he was not responsible for setting the summer transfer budget.

United currently sits 16th in the Premier League under manager Michael Carrick following a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth. Wilcox faces criticism after the club spent £157m on signings without addressing key squad weaknesses, while reports suggest co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe could consider a wider leadership overhaul involving Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada if results do not improve.
