Manchester United’s Director of Football, Jason Wilcox, shared his thoughts ahead of the team’s Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest, Softfootball reports.
Speaking at Carrington, Wilcox expressed satisfaction with the mood in the camp after three straight wins, noting that the players are learning and improving with every game.
As previously reported by Softfootball, United will be keen to continue their recent momentum and the Red Devils will seek revenge after their last defeat to Forest at the City Ground.
Wilcox said, as shared on the club’s official YouTube account:
The approach hasn’t changed. We’re seeing progress in how we play, but we can’t get carried away. It’s been a good run, but it’s an important week ahead.
He praised the work done on the training ground and emphasised that maintaining focus is key as the team prepares for a tough challenge. According to Softfootball, the players’ morale remains high following Bruno Fernandes’ standout performance in the recent win over Brighton.

Wilcox also highlighted how new signings like Matheus and Bryan have settled in quickly due to their Premier League experience. For younger talents such as Benji and Senna, he noted their rapid adaptation and hard-working attitude, describing them as good people with quality. The director commended the team’s connection and intensity in training, stating that the group’s unity has been vital to their turnaround.
Reflecting on earlier criticism when results weren’t going United’s way, Wilcox said the team’s improvement in attack has been encouraging. He said, adding that manager Ruben’s structured approach has helped the players build confidence and rhythm:
We’re creating and scoring more goals now.
As the festive period approaches, Wilcox outlined the club’s long-term plan to strengthen and compete at the top level. He mentioned that Manchester United must continue to invest wisely, bringing in players with both talent and the right mentality. He said:
We’re happy with the direction, but there’s always room to improve. Ruben’s not satisfied, neither am I, and that’s the mentality that keeps driving us.
The Red Devils’ recent form, including Harry Maguire’s dramatic winner against Liverpool as reported by Softfootball, has reignited belief among fans. With focus, hard work, and continued progress, Wilcox believes Manchester United are steadily moving toward their goals both on and off the pitch.
