In this regard, there is everything to say, and some media even said that Manchester United in the new season is about to start to go downhill. In the history of the Premier League, no team has won the championship for four consecutive years. Prior to this, Manchester United won three consecutive Premier League titles twice, but in the following seasons, they would fall into a trough inexplicably. It seems that today's Manchester United will be no exception.

Of course, these people have good reasons. It is said that iron-clad battalion and flowing soldiers, any team, no matter whether it is strong or weak, if it wants to maintain a good state, it is best to make some appropriate signings every summer. But today's Manchester United, apart from Scholes' retirement again and the introduction of an unknown young player, there is no other action in the transfer market, which is obviously abnormal.

Manchester United didn't pay much attention to these voices, and they soon set off as a team and flew to Australia.

However, the continuous large-scale spending of other powerful players in the Premier League here has proved some people's arguments from the side.

In the previous two seasons, Manchester City was Manchester United's biggest rival for the title. Although Manchester United has won the Premier League championship with a relatively large advantage, it has to be admitted that Manchester City already has the strength to threaten Manchester United's dominance. And this summer, Manchester City not only changed their new coach, but also continued to spend a lot of money. Before halfway through the summer window, they had already spent almost 100 million euros, which showed their determination to hit the Premier League title.

Not only did Manchester United not have a big introduction in the transfer market,

Even the players in their formation were tempted by all parties.

On July 17, after Chelsea defeated the Thai Singamas star team 10 times, Chelsea coach Mourinho, who attended the press conference, said that Chelsea had bid for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

The English media previously revealed that Manchester United had rejected Chelsea's offer, but Mourinho's position was firm. He said, "It's no secret. Chelsea are interested in this player, and Chelsea have also made an official offer. That's what we have. We did it, we did it in an official way. There is nothing else to say and nothing to do. We want this player, we are interested in this player and we made an offer accordingly. Now we have to Respect Manchester United and play by the rules in this process, so I will not say another word. From now on, I will not say another word about Rooney, because we all know we need him. Now it is up to Manchester United, It depends on the player."

Wayne Rooney is not the only big-name player in the Manchester United team who has been poached by other teams. Manchester United midfielder Sneijder is also a player who has been lured by many giants. Among them, Wenger's Arsenal is the one who is following Sneijder the tightest.

Wenger said that Arsenal are not short of money, with a transfer budget of 70 million pounds. But so far, no matter whether it is Higuain who is "already in the medical examination" or Suarez who is "about to reach an agreement", the Gunners have been thunderous and rainy in the transfer market, and there has been no substantial progress.

However, when the second half of July was about to enter, Wenger finally stated in front of the media for the first time that Arsenal had submitted an offer to Manchester United for the transfer of Sneijder.

Since Sneijder transferred to Manchester United for two seasons, his performance has been good. Last season, he played 49 games for Manchester United in various competitions and sent 11 goals and 13 assists. one. This summer, Sneijder and Manchester United have only two years left in their contract, and the two sides have started contract renewal negotiations.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the renewal contract offered by Manchester United is still far from Sneijder's request. The Dutchman is demanding the second-highest salary in the squad after Bale, but new Manchester United chief Ed Woodward believes Sneijder's performances over the past season are not worth that price.

Manchester United has the confidence to reject Sneijder's request because the team's new star Pogba has grown faster than the world expected. Coupled with the existence of Modric, Sneijder is not indispensable.

Obviously, there are so many news about Sneijder's transfer now that the Dutch are also putting pressure on Manchester United.
