Star Card System

With Xia Xing's goal in the first half, Manchester United opened the scoring.

Relying on De Gea's world-class super performance, Manchester United achieved a zero seal.

In the end, Manchester United won this highly anticipated double-Red meeting.

The score of 1-0 cannot represent the intensity of the game, but three points are enough.

Overall, Liverpool performed very well today.

For example, Henderson, he even interfered with Xia Xing's passes and shots many times, and his desperate play made Xia Xing very uncomfortable.

For example, Salah, Mane, and Firmino, the three frequently shot, with good angles, speed and strength.

But there was no way, they encountered the strongest resistance from Manchester United.

In the end, they could only regret Manchester and watch Manchester United continue to lead the Premier League standings.

Last season, Klopp's ruthless words that he would win the Premier League championship this season now seem to be getting farther and farther away...

In this long winter, Manchester United completed the first half of the Premier League.

They beat Liverpool by four points and lead the Premier League standings.

However, Solskjaer is very clear about the reasons for the team's strength.

They are in good shape in many aspects, but the biggest contributor is of course Xia Xing.

For half a season, Xia Xing played all the games and almost all of them for 90 minutes.

And until now, Xia Xing is still the top scorer and assist king on all fronts.

This is simply an incredible result!

The best in the Premier League and the Europa League!

A performance at the level of a king of football!

Even the results of this half season have become the best half season in Xia Xing's career data!

Everyone praised Xia Xing, and Solskjaer naturally did so.

But he was also quite worried in his heart.

The team must have an outstanding midfield star.

Whether as a supplement to Xia Xing or as an improvement in tactical diversity, it is necessary to recruit players.

Since Drinkwater joined the team for half a season, he has really recovered well and has become a strong reinforcement.

But after all, he is not a midfield core, but just a role player like a jack of all trades.

He used to be a big player in Leicester City, but not in Manchester United, after all, this is the best club in England.

So, a top midfielder must be bought.

In addition to the midfield, another striker needs to be introduced, preferably a center forward.

This season, there are only two people in the center position, Greenwood and Martial.

Greenwood's performance is not bad, but that is all due to proper tactical performance. After all, he is not a natural center forward. Only flexible running in the frontcourt can make him play the best effect.

And Martial, although he has the potential to be a center forward, his physical confrontation is too poor, and his running is not active enough, and his header is not good.

So Manchester United must buy a reliable center forward.

In the end, under the operation of the club, Manchester United finally signed the all-around midfield attacker they wanted.

Portuguese star-Bruno Fernandes!

The 26-year-old Portuguese midfielder, who transferred from Sporting CP, cost Manchester United a transfer fee of 65 million euros.

This price is not low.

You should know that he had played for Udinese and Sampdoria in Serie A before, but he didn't look very good. He finally returned to Portugal and slowly returned to people's vision.

During his time at Sporting CP, his talent was fully utilized.

Everyone knows him for his superb passing ability.

Whether it is a key pass, a through ball, or a cross from the wing, he is a good hand.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a first-class passer in Europe.

And when the team needs him, he can always appear on the defensive end.

And he also has a long-range shot ability.

In general, he has strong comprehensive ability and is a good reinforcement.

Some people even compare him with the Portuguese midfield superstar Rui Costa of the year.

Although his strength and historical status are still far behind, it is already a success to be able to compare with his predecessors.

Joining Manchester United and wearing the No. 18 jersey, Solskjaer has high hopes for him.

But when someone comes, someone leaves.

The previous owner of the No. 18 jersey left Manchester United this winter.

Ashley Young, Manchester United's vice-captain and a veteran of Manchester United.

He was a signing during the Ferguson era. He was once criticized for his rough skills and his ability to run around.

But now it seems that no one in Manchester United can catch up with him.

Even Luke Shaw, who has good talent, is far less comprehensive than Ashley Young.

However, as he gets older, he has lost his starting position.

This winter, in order to play more games, he left Manchester United, where he had played for ten years.

And Manchester United was kind enough to him, sending him to Inter Milan at a symbolic price of 1.7 million euros.

This low price is not a reflection of Ashley Young's value.

This is just the club's attempt to help the veterans get better treatment in the new team, so it downgraded the transfer fee.

Before leaving Manchester United, Ashley Young shed tears on the training ground.

He hugged veterans such as Xia Xing, De Gea, and Smalling tightly, and said goodbye reluctantly.

Rojo also left.

The Argentine veteran was loaned back to the Argentine League and joined the La Plata University Club.

Whether he will come back after half a year is still unknown.

After the two left backs left, Solskjaer promoted several young players from the youth team.

Solskjaer's love for young people is his characteristic.

A transfer cost 65 million euros, which made Solskjaer's center forward selection go to waste.

Manchester United really has no money.

In the end, they gave face to Solskjaer at his strong request and added 13 million.

This is the club's upper limit.

But how can you buy a good center forward at this price?

You know, Manchester United is now a championship team. What's the point of buying a second-rate center forward?

But there is only so much money, you can take it or not.

Solskjaer can only bear it.

In the end, after careful selection, he took a fancy to Ighalo, a striker in the Chinese Super League.

The loan fee is 12 million euros for one year, including a buyout clause.

If he can prove his value, then he is likely to get a long-term contract with Manchester United.

However, because of this loan, Manchester United was ridiculed by countless hostile fans.

You all started to poach people from the Chinese Super League?

But Manchester United fans also have something to say.

Ighalo made his debut in Udinese in Serie A in 2008, so his starting point is not low.

And he has been playing in Serie A, La Liga and the Premier League for the next ten years, and he is definitely a player at the level of the top five leagues!

This is indeed true.

As a center forward who can gain a foothold in the Premier League and Serie A, Ighalo's strength is obvious to all.

He joined Manchester United and is the fulcrum center forward that Solskjaer expects.

With him in the middle, the fast horses on the wing will have more ways to handle the ball.

Although Manchester United did not make many moves in this winter window, they did a lot.

B Fee's transfer of 65 million euros shows Manchester United's ambition.

Manchester United is strong in the second half of the season, and is ready to go, looking forward to a full-line sprint! (End of this chapter)
