The season review led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe that will settle Ten Hag’s employment has entered a third week but the structure put in place by the minority owner means the club are relaxed about the window, which opens on Friday. Jason Wilcox was appointed by Ratcliffe in April as the technical director and is leading recruitment in the absence of Dan Ashworth, the prospective sporting director, who remains on gardening leaveDuring Wilcox’s 14 months as Southampton’s director of football, those signed permanently or on loan included David Brooks, Ryan Manning, Flynn Downes, Ryan Fraser and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, who all featured in the 1-0 Championship playoff final win over Leeds.
There is, though, a recognition that because Ratcliffe officially became the new 27.7% minority owner only in February and began driving football policy then, this was not ideal timing regarding the summer window. Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite is among those being monitored by United, with the Merseyside club valuing the defender at a minimum £60m.
