Manchester United has a “solid strategy” to continue supporting head coach Ruben Amorim in the transfer market, having pinpointed the squad’s areas needing improvement, according to director of football Jason Wilcox.
Since Amorim took charge at Old Trafford in November 2024, United has invested nearly £250 million ($329 million) in new players.
The Portuguese manager has experienced a resurgence in form, with three consecutive victories, and Wilcox assures that additional signings will be made, either in January or during the summer.

“We have a clear strategy,” Wilcox stated in an interview on United’s website.
“We understand what needs to be done and which parts of the team require enhancement.
“To secure a top-four finish and consistently compete for Champions League berths, as well as to win Champions Leagues and Premier League titles, we must invest in the squad.
“It’s essential to acquire the right players—those who not only possess talent but can also thrive under pressure and propel the squad forward.”
Amorim has eased job-related pressure following wins against Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton.
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe mentioned during the October international break that he is prepared to give the 40-year-old “three years” to implement his vision.
Wilcox has supported Ratcliffe’s sentiments, stating that the board will “remain composed” even if United’s performance fluctuates.
“We need to keep this momentum going,” Wilcox commented.
“We shouldn’t get overly excited about victories or too disheartened by losses. We know we are on the path to progress.
“There will undoubtedly be challenges ahead, but we must ensure we stay steady regardless of external factors.”
