The Red Devils have not yet made an approach to the Saints director, The Athletic reports, but he is aware that they want to bring him to Old Trafford. Their aim is to have him work under a sporting director, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-dan-ashworth-newcastle-approach-sporting-director-old-trafford/blt68c917095ae40cb7" target="_blank">Newcastle's Dan Ashworth hoping to take on the role</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Wilcox is the latest figure United are pursuing as new partial owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS group prepare to shake up the club's hierarchy to help improve Erik ten Hag's team. They have already persuaded <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-raid-city-omar-berrada-new-ceo-ineos-major-boardroom-shakeup/bltc006f9161a301485#cs764b649c7e1ae360" target="_blank">Omar Berrada to leave Manchester City to take over as CEO at Old Trafford</a> and are confident of bringing Ashworth from Newcastle. It has also been reported that they are interested in bringing in Brighton's head of recruitment, though Chelsea are also eyeing him.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wilcox, who won the Premier League title with Blackburn as a player, previously worked as academy director at Manchester City but stepped down in January last year despite the club's efforts to convince him to stay. The likes of Phil Foden, Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb and Cole Palmer, now at Chelsea, developed during his time at the Premier League title holders.

DID YOU KNOW?

United will continue to attempt to strengthen their backroom staff while the Red Devils look to compete for a place in the top four of the Champions League. The Old Trafford team are in action on Sunday when they take on Luton.
