Manchester United is shaking things up! The legendary club has made a formal approach to Southampton's director of football, Jason Wilcox, according to ESPN's report on Monday. ⚽🔥
The 'Red Devils' are revamping their recruitment team after Sir Jim Ratcliffe became the minority owner of the club in February. They've already struck a deal with Omar Berrada, the former chief football operations officer of Manchester City, who is set to become their new CEO. Talk about a power move! 💼🤝
Wilcox and Berrada share history from their time at City before Wilcox left in the summer of 2023. Now, United is looking to reunite the duo to spearhead their new era. 🚀
But not everyone is thrilled. Southampton, currently battling in the EFL Championship, isn't too happy about the timing. With a fierce promotion race underway, losing their director of football is less than ideal. They're sitting in fourth place with 74 points after 38 games, just behind third-place Leicester City. The competition is heating up! 🔥🏆
This move could shake up the English football scene. Will Wilcox join United and help them reclaim their glory days? How will Southampton respond? Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development! 🙌📰
