Manchester United made it clear in an email sent to staff on Wednesday that technical director Jason Wilcox will fill Dan Ashworth’s shoes for the time being, according to the Daily Mail.
The Red Devils parted with their sporting director over the weekend after just five months of work, and Wilcox has now stepped into his role ahead of the January transfer window.
The former Southampton director of football is now the point of contact for the scouting department at Man United on any recruitment matters.
