Manchester United technical director Jason Wilcox is looking to overhaul the club’s culture and working environment.<\/p>\n

Following INEOS’ minority takeover of the club, part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has begun a major overhaul of the club, starting with the back office staff.<\/p>\n

In addition to appointing a new CEO and pursuing Dan Ashworth as a sporting director, Ineos also decided that the time had come to hire a new technical director.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, The Peoples Person<\/a> relayed that Wilcox has been hired as United’s technical director with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

The former Academy Director of Manchester City, Wilcox left his role as Southampton Director of Football in order to join United.<\/p>\n

While Southampton proved difficult to negotiate with, Wilcox decided to resign from his role at the club in order to faciliate his move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

During his week in charge, the new technical director has had his hands full, with Ratcliffe instructing him to conduct a thorough audit of Erik ten Hag<\/a>‘s performance as manager.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag would effectively be on trial for a month, with his managerial credentials and his dressing room relations under evaluation.<\/p>\n

It appears as if Wilcox has fully immersed himself in his special project, meeting with Ten Hag<\/a> after the FA Cup win over Coventry. Apparently, further meetings have been planned.<\/p>\n

Still, Wilcox’s involvement with Ten Hag may not be as deep as some might think, given a recent report explaining that he is more concerned with the broader mentality that has been adopted at the club.<\/p>\n

GiveMeSport<\/a> claimed that Wilcox did not instruct Ten Hag to change his playing style as was alleged in prior reports.<\/p>\n

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Wilcox is more focused on improving the culture and working environment of the club, rather than focusing on the playing style.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat has been made clear is that he’s going to be very hands on, which you would expect from a technical director and that the culture at the club on and off the field is deemed to be very important,\u201d Jacobs stated.<\/p>\n

Should this report be true, Wilcox will have a major task on his hands following seasons of underperformance, with the club unable to return to its glory days under Sir Alex Ferguson.<\/p>\n

Player power continues to run rampant while managerial changes have seen the club go from one extreme to the other with the club stockpiling average players and subsequently finding it difficult to move them on.<\/p>\n

This rotten culture needs to change and Wilcox has quite the job on his hands!<\/p>\n
