Wilcox Sets Out Manchester United’s Joined-Up, Character-First Transfer Model

His Inside Carrington interview presents a structured plan guiding targeted signings as the club pursues a measured rebuild.

Overview

  • He details weekly collaboration with head coach Ruben Amorim, recruitment lead Chris Vivell, scouts and the data team to define precise profiles and targets.
  • United now performs background checks to recruit “clean‑living” team players and prioritized Premier League‑ready additions such as Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
  • Wilcox dismisses the notion that goalkeeper Senne Lammens was a panic buy, noting he was flagged a year earlier by goalkeeping scout Tony Coton.
  • The club credits summer arrivals, including Benjamin Sesko, with contributing to improved performances during a four‑match unbeaten run.
  • Sky Sports reports a new midfielder is expected to be the main target next summer, with limited January activity anticipated.
