Manchester United’s director of football Jason Wilcox has signalled the club will continue to support Ruben Amorim in the transfer market after a visible upturn in results.<\/p>\n
The club moved decisively in the summer, committing to spend up to \u00a3230 million ($302.5 million) on four new players. That outlay was aimed at an attacking overhaul and early returns are beginning to show.<\/p>\n
Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha have been described as additions of Premier League-proven quality, while Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko has also shown promise. Senne Lammens has taken the No. 1 goalkeeper spot, and those personnel changes have coincided with improved results on the pitch.<\/p>\n
Winning two Premier League games in a row for the first time since Amorim took charge last November has quickly turned into three, and United are now just two points shy of second place in the standings. That progress has underpinned Wilcox’s message that recruitment will remain a priority.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have got a clear plan. We know what we have got to do, we know the areas of the team that we have got to improve,\u201d Wilcox explained, confirming the intention is not to stop here.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us to get in the top four and consistently challenge for Champions League places, win Champions Leagues, win Premier Leagues, we have got to invest in the squad. We have got to buy the right players. The right players who are talented but also who can deal with the pressure, who can take the squad forward. It is not always about just signing elite talent, they have got to have the right character and be somebody who can bring something different to the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are really happy with where we are, we know we have got to improve and, you know, the players, they will never be satisfied, Ruben will never be happy, I will never be happy, it is just how we are built. We are always looking to improve. Anybody who works at Manchester United should be thinking the same and they do, with the standards we are driving every day.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
