Ten Hag focused on Utd rebuild with Wilcox

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said he’s built an “intense relationship” with the club’s new technical director Jason Wilcox as they gear up to strengthen the squad for next season.

Wilcox, who previously served as director of football at Southampton, took over from Darren Fletcher after joining United last month. His appointment is among the sweeping changes that have been made at United under new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, with former Manchester City executive Omar Berrarda set to take up the CEO role in the summer and Dan Ashworth poised to join as sporting director after completing his gardening leave at Newcastle United.
