Manchester United have approached Southampton about hiring their director of football Jason Wilcox, who offered his resignation several days ago.
United want to make him their technical director as part of the new recruitment team and have made an offer equivalent to a year of his salary. They believe this meets a buyout clause in his contract but Southampton are disputing the clause's existence and are prepared to make him serve a year's notice period before he can take a job elsewhere.
'I would say give me at least 10 minutes to get over the disappointment of tonight and we'll chat at some point this week and I'm sure I'll have more for you,' Martin said. 'I've not spoken to the club . You know my feelings on Jason, and I'll have a chat with him after. 'I've just had a text saying how proud he was of the performance. The rest is, once I'm told I'll let you know.
