"Manchester United's new No. 7!"

On the front page of the Manchester Post, the photo of Xia Xing wearing the No. 7 jersey occupied half of the page.

And this newspaper has long been sold out at major newsstands.

The No. 7 jersey is of great significance.

Manchester United's No. 7 heritage has a historical tradition.

Eric Cantona, the former king of Manchester United.

David Beckham, the former genius midfielder of Manchester United, the top football idol in England and even the world.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the last Manchester United Golden Ball winner, the leader of the new era.

These famous names, as long as they are recalled, will make the fans excited.

However, in the following seasons, some players wearing the No. 7 jersey have fallen into doubt.

Michael Owen, who suffered repeated injuries, Valencia, who received mixed reviews on the right, Di Maria, the Argentine winger who left after only one season, and Memphis Depay, who failed to realize his talent under Van Gaal...

These players have worn the No. 7 jersey, but failed to become the next superstar.

Especially the last No. 7 Depay, who was supported by Van Gaal's fellow countryman coach, failed to achieve himself and eventually left on loan.

Mourinho also had no feelings for him. If nothing unexpected happened, he would not come back after the loan ended.

And Mourinho directly left his No. 7 jersey and gave it to Xia Xing.

This expectation and respect can be seen.

In fact, Xia Xing prefers the No. 17 jersey, but here, the meaning of No. 7 is extraordinary, so he naturally accepted it with pleasure.

Manchester United's new No. 7 is in place!

A transfer fee of 50 million euros is not a big deal in European football this summer.

Especially since Manchester United just spent 105 million euros to buy Pogba, Xia Xing's transfer fee is even less than half of the French midfielder.

But even so, he has become the team's hottest star recently.

Especially Mourinho's expectations for him are definitely higher than all other players.

When the transfer was in progress, Mourinho personally used his connections to help Xia Xing find a suitable residence.

His goal is definitely not to stay for a while, but to serve for a long time.

This is what Mourinho hopes to see and what Xia Xing expects.

In the end, Xia Xing found a satisfactory residence in a villa area 30 kilometers away from the Carrington training base.

In fact, there are some interesting stories in the middle.

This house was actually bought by Beckham as a real estate investment. It has never been occupied, that is, it is a new house.

When he heard that Xia Xing was looking for a house, Beckham took out this house directly and sold it to Xia Xing for 3 million euros.

This is almost half of the market price.

Using an optimized price in exchange for the friendship of a supernova, Beckham is a good businessman.

Another interesting thing about this house is that it is in the same villa area as Sir Alex Ferguson.

It takes only five minutes to walk to Ferguson's residence.

This also makes Xia Xing very satisfied.

As a top boss of Manchester United, Ferguson's influence is extraordinary.

Even though he has retired, he still has a lot of say in Manchester United.

Living next to him can be very convenient.

And he was brought to Manchester United by Ferguson, and the two have always had a good personal relationship.

Every time he returns to Manchester United from Leicester City, Xia Xing will visit Ferguson.

Now it is completely convenient.

I went to visit Ferguson's home, but it was empty.

Ferguson was on vacation with his family and was not at home.

Xia Xing had to call in advance to visit.

"Xia! You're right to come back! When I go back next month, I will invite you to my house for tea!"

Ferguson's voice is still hearty, and you can hear that he is in good health.

Xia Xing is very happy.

Mourinho took Xia Xing into the new house, which was already tidied up at this time.

The house is clean and tidy.

Mourinho smiled and patted his shoulder: "I know you like Chinese style, so I didn't arrange for anyone to put up the furniture. You can do the rest yourself."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I'll be happy if you score a few more goals later, hahahaha!"

Mourinho was in a good mood.

In the next few days, Xia Xing began to clean up the house.

He invited a big-name designer to design the house as a whole.

It is worth mentioning that this young female designer is of Chinese descent and has a similar experience to Xia Xing. Although she is young, she has won many awards internationally and her strength should not be underestimated.

According to Xia Xing's wishes, the whole house is decorated in Chinese style.

It is antique and heavy, but the designer added a lot of small decorations, on the one hand for Feng Shui considerations, and on the other hand to add some interest to the room.

After all, the owner of the house is still young, and the house can be heavy, but it can't look too old-fashioned.

The three-story villa has a living room and a few guest rooms on the first floor, the second floor is the main living area, and the third floor is a gym, a cinema and some function rooms.

It also includes a large yard and a swimming pool in the yard, all of which are decorated beautifully.

Even the patterns and layouts on the exterior walls of the house are full of oriental design.

Xia Xing was very satisfied with this, and the final payment was directly increased by 20%.

The design company was also very happy.

Of course, the red envelope given to the designer was also very generous.

After the decoration work was finished, Xia Xing invited the designer and several engineers from the design company to have dinner together.

After dinner, the others left first, and the young female designer invited Xia Xing to sit at her home and talk about oriental culture.

Even if they were old friends.

But Xia Xing refused.

From the affectionate eyes of the young and beautiful female designer, Xia Xing understood some feelings.

However, he decisively refused.

Because he already had someone in his heart.

After bidding farewell to the disappointed female designer, Xia Xing drove back to the villa alone.

The three-story villa is large and fully functional, but sitting alone in the living room on the first floor, he seemed a little lonely.

At this moment, he suddenly missed his home in Leicester very much.

Since coming to England, he has rarely recalled his home in China.

Occasionally he would think of his parents.

However, he was sent out to play football since he was a child, and he didn't spend much time at home.

After going to Leicester, he finally had a home to go back to every night.

He could cook, had family, and someone would keep the lights on for him on game nights.

That feeling was really good.

After a tiring day of busy renovations, thinking about the feeling of home, Xia Xing actually fell asleep on the soft sofa.

When he woke up again, it was already dawn the next day.

What woke him up was a knock on the door.

Because it was during the renovation period, Xia Xing did not close the gate.

The visitor did not press the doorbell outside the yard, but came directly to the door.

Needless to say, it must be an acquaintance.

Is Mourinho looking for him?

Or is Sir Alex Ferguson back?

Or other friends?

Xia Xing got up and opened the door.

Before he saw the person, he heard the voice first.

"Hello, my name is Li De, nice to meet you."
