Jason Wilcox could help Sir Jim Ratcliffe transform Manchester United back into a Premier League winning team
Jason Wilcox has recently emerged as a target for Manchester United as Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks to appoint a director of football. Since acquiring a stake and taking the reins at Old Trafford, the British billionaire has set out to take the Red Devils back to 'the very top of English, European and world football'.
United have offered the Saints the equivalent of a full year's salary as compensation, even though the 53-year-old only arrived at St Mary's in the summer. Nevertheless, Wilcox has emerged as a target for the Red Devils – and it's clear why. With Ratcliffe eager to produce the next Kylian Mbappe rather than splash the cash on the Paris Saint-Germain star, Wilcox certainly fits the bill. So, with that being said, the Manchester Evening News has taken a look at some of the best signings which Manchester City and Southampton made during the former Blackburn Rovers winger's respective tenures.
After catching the eye, Chelsea forked out millions to secure his signature. Unfortunately for Lavia, he's struggled to stay fit at Stamford Bridge, though he remains an excellent talent which Wilcox unearthed. Liam Delap – Derby County to Manchester City Delap signed his first professional contract just 12 months after becoming a scholar at Manchester City. The striker, who now plays for Hull City in the Championship, was once regarded as one of the best young players in Europe – which was a huge coup for Wilcox and the club at the time.
