Tensions grow between Ruben Amorim and Jason Wilcox

Ruben Amorim and Jason Wilcox are two of the main people at Manchester United striving to direct the club towards success on the field.

As Director of Football, having being appointed to the role last year, Wilcox leads football operations at the club.

Furthermore, as a part of his role, he helps to guide men’s first-team manager Amorim through advice.

Meanwhile, with the side now sitting fifth currently following the first half of the 2025-26 Premier League season, the club may look to push into the UEFA Champions League places in the remainder of the campaign.

In order to do this, a number of things may need to take place.

One of these may be new signings, with Ruben Neves contacted by Manchester United last month.

But, with a new contract offer from Al-Hilal, United may have to fight in order to gain Neves’ signature and subsequent signing.

Now, a growing tension has been revealed at the club between Jason Wilcox and Ruben Amorim with tactics, another area that may need to be addressed, falling at the center of this.

According to TalkSport, reporting on their official website, sources close to Manchester United say Wilcox would like Amorim to be more tactically adaptable.

Meanwhile, the outlet has also stated that the Portuguese manager has also been told bringing in signings this transfer window is unlikely.

With these two blows, tension between the two is increasing as the pair look to build success at the club.

Now, fans may look towards Ruben Amorim to see if he makes any comments on tactical changes or the possibility of signing new players in the transfer window.

Meanwhile, fans may look towards Wilcox to see if he makes any other comments relating to these two key areas.
