Star Card System

Fourth in the Premier League and champion of the Europa League.

This result is acceptable for Manchester United.

In fact, it is not bad.

But for the extremely demanding Manchester United management and fans, it is far from enough.

The miracle of the six crowns in the 2017-2018 season has completely whetted their appetite.

For them, a Europa League is nothing. At least the top four of the Champions League should be the most basic operation.

Therefore, the pressure on Manchester United will only be greater next season.

Solskjaer has repeatedly strongly requested the board of directors to increase the transfer fee limit, but the effect is not good.

This summer, Manchester United is still stingy.

Only 50 million euros were given to Solskjaer for the transfer budget.

This is still a measure after considering the team's sales situation.

Solskjaer is helpless.

Chelsea introduced German teenager Havertz, who cost 80 million euros and became the most expensive player this summer;

Manchester City's new defensive star Diaz, 68 million euros, also spent a lot of money;

Arsenal's midfielder Thomas, also 50 million euros, the Gunners are not stingy now.

Compared with these opponents, Solskjaer's transfer fee is not even enough to buy one player of the opponent.

Haha.

In the final analysis, it is still that the management does not trust Solskjaer enough and is unwilling to invest heavily.

If the head coach is replaced by a famous coach like Guardiola or Ancelotti, do you think the management will pay?

Haha.

In the end, Solskjaer can only try to shop and buy cost-effective players.

But in today's gold-dollar football environment, where are there cost-effective players?

In the end, he made up his mind and spent 39 million euros "high price" to introduce Ajax's young midfielder Van der Beck.

This young man is good at both offense and defense, and is a good player in the middle.

In order to strengthen the left side, he introduced Porto's Brazilian defender Telles. The cost was not high, 15 million euros, but he was only a substitute for Luke Shaw, that's all.

Buying combat power, you have to buy young players.

This is Solskjaer's consistent recruitment strategy.

The 18-year-old Uruguayan striker Pellistri transferred from the Uruguayan Peñarol Club for 8.5 million euros. This young player has only played 20 games in the Uruguayan First Division, and was favored by Solskjaer.

Speed, dribbling and agility are his biggest characteristics.

From Rashford, Greenwood to James, now Pellistri has come. Solskjaer is fast and fast. This kind of shooter.

Bought three people, the transfer fee exceeded 60 million, which has exceeded the expected budget.

This is all because Smalling's transfer to Manchester United brought a transfer fee of 15 million euros.

This summer, two loaned players, Smalling and Sanchez, officially left the team and stayed in Serie A.

They bid farewell to their Red Devils career completely.

Dalot was also loaned to AC Milan. The young defender failed to show his talent and went to Serie A to hone his skills.

There are also several young players such as Pereira, James Garner, and Chong Tahith. They were promoted to the first team by Solskjaer, but they did not have many opportunities to play and were also loaned out this season.

The team adjusted for a long time, but the key problem was still not solved-lack of center forward!

The newly bought Pellistri did not get a chance to play in Manchester United for the time being. He was loaned to Alaves for training and returned two years later.

Manchester United still did not solve the problem of weak striker.

Ighalo's loan joining cannot be regarded as a success, but it is not a failure either.

After all, the price is there. He is just a temporary transitional product and a substitute player.

The team needs a center forward who can really score goals.

And now, Manchester United has no money.

They want to find a top center forward without spending money, the kind that can conquer the Champions League this season.

It's really a daydream.

The management talked about some cheap strikers, but none of them were suitable.

Either they looked down on Manchester United, or Manchester United looked down on them.

In the end, they introduced Cavani for free.

The 33-year-old Uruguayan veteran left on a free transfer after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ended this season.

He wanted to go to a big club, but his form declined seriously and no big club wanted him.

Manchester United wanted a world-class striker, but they had no money and could only deal with it.

In the end, the two sides hit it off and succeeded in joining hands.

Manchester United added a veteran to the striker line.

It didn't reach Solskjaer's goal, but it was better than nothing.

In addition, Manchester United has another problem, which is the issue of Drinkwater's stay or departure.

Last summer, Drinkwater was loaned from Chelsea at the invitation of Xia Xing.

He couldn't play in Chelsea, but his form gradually recovered in Manchester United.

Although he is not an absolute main player, he is also a rotation player.

Especially during the injury wave period of Manchester United, he made a great contribution to the team.

Moreover, because of his tacit understanding with Xia Xing, he also had some good performances.

But for Manchester United, they don't really want to keep Drinkwater.

Because Manchester United now has a lot of midfielders. Half a year ago, they bought B Fee and now introduced Van der Beck. There is no need to put another Drinkwater.

However, Xia Xing repeatedly suggested that the club should keep his old teammates.

As for whether there is any personal affection, outsiders do not know, and Manchester United finally decided to keep Drinkwater.

However, they did not raise the issue of buyout with Chelsea, but started a tug-of-war.

Because they knew very well that there was absolutely no problem with this transfer.

First of all, Drinkwater himself wanted to stay.

Especially with Xia Xing, he had a better chance of staying in Manchester United.

Then Manchester United wanted to keep him, which was also no problem.

Whether it was tactical considerations or giving Xia Xing face, the club decided to keep him anyway.

There was also the problem of Chelsea.

Their current team lineup was bloated, and the existing players could not be used, and they had to rent them out, not to mention recalling a player that the team did not need.

It was just a matter of transfer fees, which was very troublesome.

Manchester United's transfer team began to operate.

When they bought other people, they were generous, but they hesitated to buy Drinkwater.

Anyway, it is a buyer's market now, and they are not in a hurry.

In the end, they simply spent 10 million euros and chose to rent Drinkwater for another two years.

Chelsea would be speechless if this move was made.

Because Drinkwater's contract will expire in two years.

What's the difference between what Manchester United does and a direct buyout?

But in the end, Chelsea didn't make too much pretentiousness. They are a big family and don't care.

Anyway, they don't want him anymore, so just leave at a lower price.

In the end, Manchester United proposed to pay in installments, and Chelsea actually agreed.

It's really funny.

In the end, Manchester United's No. 10 jersey in the new season still hasn't changed hands, and it's still on Drinkwater.

The transfer team has done everything, and now it's time to talk about a big thing... (End of this chapter)
