Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is keen to get things moving with new technical director Jason Wilcox.
Wilcox, a Premier League winner as a player, with Blackburn Rovers in 1995, left Southampton to take up the role at Old Trafford and has met with the boss, as plans are put in place for the future.
When asked at his press conference about how closely the pair will work together, plotting the next steps, Erik said: "Very close. We have to form a partnership, [it's] very important.
"We are a little bit behind in the process so we have to catch up and it will speed up the process.
