The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

With the operation of the six-member transfer team, Manchester United's transfers have been significantly accelerated:

On July 21, Manchester United officially announced that it had signed 19-year-old Portuguese genius full-back José Diogo Dalot Teixeira from the Portuguese Super League Porto Club for 12 million pounds. The two sides signed a 6-year contract, and Dalot will wear the No. 20 jersey in the new season;

On July 22, Manchester United officially announced that it had signed England's main central defender Jacob Harry Maguire from the Premier League Leicester City Club for 50 million pounds; the two sides signed a 5-year contract, and Maguire will wear the No. 4 jersey in the new season;

On July 23, Manchester United officially announced that it will introduce young player Jamal Musiala from Chelsea for £3 million; Jude Bellingham from Birmingham City for £3.5 million; Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao for £2.8 million; and Croatian young central defender Josko Gvardiol from Dinamo Zagreb for £2 million. The above four players will train with the first team in the new season, participate in the reserve team games, and receive guidance from Scholes.

On July 24, Manchester United officially announced that it would introduce young player Cody Gakpo from the Netherlands PSV Eindhoven for £8 million; Spanish winger Dani Olmo from Croatia Dinamo Zagreb for £5.5 million; and French left-back Ferran Sane Mendy from France Lyon for £6.5 million;

For three consecutive days, eight transfers were officially announced. Although they were mainly young players, the fans still saw the club's determination to regroup.

On July 25, when the Red Devils fans were eagerly waiting for the club's other signings, the overall situation changed. Manchester United officially announced that Argentine defender Marcos Rojo and vice-captain Luis Antonio Valencia Mosquera had terminated their contracts in advance and left the team freely; the team's Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez joined the Italian Serie A Inter Milan club for 8 million pounds; the team's Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera Aguila and Ivorian defender Eric Bailly joined the French Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain club for a package price of 40 million pounds;

This series of player cleansing directly shocked the fans. Seeing that four or five of the main lineups of last season were removed at once, the club was slow to introduce the corresponding players. For a time, rumors were everywhere and people were panicked.

Just at this time, Pogba's post-match interview was broadcast:

In a bright interview room, Pogba sat in front of the camera with a serious face. "Everyone knows that I used to have a very good relationship with Mourinho, but you can't predict what will happen the next day. This is the strangest thing about my relationship with him. I can't explain it because I don't even know the reason." Pogba paused and continued: "Mourinho is always moody and often slanders players. He will have conflicts with players because of some trivial things, making the atmosphere of the whole team very tense. And he doesn't seem to know how to really communicate and get along with the players. He just treats us in his own way without considering our feelings at all." Pogba shook his head, as if to get rid of those unpleasant memories. "Playing under him, you never know when you will be marginalized, even if you have performed well before. This uncertainty makes the players feel very uneasy and unable to devote themselves to the game. In the French team, Deschamps is different. He is more willing to get close to the players and give us more trust and support."

Pogba's words became more and more sharp: "Mourinho's coaching style is outdated. He doesn't know how to keep up with the times and doesn't understand the needs and ideas of current players. He always follows his own way, but is unwilling to listen to the players' voices. How can such a coach lead the team to achieve good results?"

At the end of the interview, Pogba's expression was still serious, and his words seemed to echo in the air, making people feel his strong dissatisfaction with Mourinho.

"Asshole!" Looking at Pogba's big black face on TV, Luo Lie couldn't help but have a headache. According to his original plan, he planned to keep Pogba for another year while he was still in good condition, and then cash in and sell him at a high price next year. Now it seems that he has to change his plan.

While they were listing how to deal with the headache, the English media continued to stir up trouble, interviewing Martial, Rashford and other players one after another. Rashford was smart enough to just say that Mourinho was strict and he was afraid of him.; Martial himself has conflicts with Mourinho, and because of his carefree personality, he criticized Mourinho's tactics and said that the reason why he was not selected for the French World Cup squad was entirely because of Mourinho's improper tactical arrangements, which caused his poor performance; for a time, news about Manchester United's internal strife quickly occupied the front page of the English media.

[Ding! ~~Task trigger: Rectify the club]

[Task content: After a season with nothing in the four major categories, many hidden dangers of the team have gradually been exposed. The conflicts between Mourinho and the core players in the team: Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and other players have become public. Please complete the club rectification as soon as possible and quell the turmoil in the locker room. 】

【Task Reward: Platinum Treasure Box*1】

The timely appearance of the system task helped Luo Lie make up his mind; "Lina, notify Mr. Nicky Butt to issue a notice in the name of the club to reiterate support for Mourinho. At the same time, Pogba and Martial will be fined 2 weeks' salary, and Rashford will be warned by the whole team."

"In addition, please postpone all my arrangements for this afternoon and tomorrow morning. I have an appointment with Emma Jones, and I will accept her exclusive interview at my villa tonight." After saying this, he smiled evilly.

The next day, Luo Lie interviewed Emma Jones, who was refreshed all night, and wrote an article about Manchester United's summer signings list. A large number of well-known players were on the list, calling on the majority of Manchester United fans to patiently wait for good news from the club. Although The Sun has limited credibility in spreading serious news, everyone in the UK knows about the relationship between Emma Jones and Rowley, and they all know that she worked overtime all night, so there are still many fans who believe in the report and are full of hope, but they don’t know that the purge that makes them worried is still going on:

On July 28, Manchester United officially announced that the team captain Ashley Young transferred to Serie A Inter Milan for 4 million pounds. The club highly affirmed Young’s eight-year career as a Red Devils and wished him good luck in the future;

This time, even Sir Alex Ferguson couldn’t sit still and called Rowley to express his concern about Manchester United’s lineup next season; Rowley just comforted Sir Alex, but didn’t reveal too much.

At the same time, an uninvited guest walked into Rowley’s office. Philip Lamboly, the agent of the team’s French striker Martial, is an agent known for his shrewdness and toughness in the football circle.

"Mr. Chairman, you also know that Martial is a very talented and capable player. His performance in Manchester United is obvious to all, and his contribution to the team through goals and assists cannot be ignored." Philip said slowly, his eyes revealing confidence and determination.

Luo Lie nodded slightly and responded: "We recognize Martial's ability, but the team has an overall salary structure and financial plan."

Philip smiled and continued: "I understand the club's considerations, but Martial's value is far more than the current salary level. His creativity and offensive ability on the field are enough to make him one of the core of the team. Other clubs have expressed their strong interest in Martial to us, and they are willing to offer higher salaries."

Luo Lie frowned and said: "We also value Martial, but a salary increase is not a simple matter. It requires comprehensive consideration of many factors."

Philip leaned forward and emphasized: "Martial has been training and playing very hard, and his professional attitude is impeccable. Moreover, he is still young and has a lot of room for improvement. Giving him a salary increase is not only a recognition of his past performance, but also an investment in his future potential."

However, Luo Lie shook his head and said firmly: " Philip, I understand your position, but the current financial situation of the team does not allow us to easily break the salary balance. We have many excellent players, and we cannot affect the stability of the entire team because of the demands of individuals. "

Philip's face became a little ugly, and he raised his voice: "Mr. Chairman, if Martial's reasonable demands cannot be met, I am afraid he will consider other options. He has no shortage of suitors, and other clubs can provide him with the treatment he deserves. "

Rolie leaned back in his chair, pondered for a moment and said: "Philip, I know Martial's market value, but Manchester United also has its own principles and plans. We can't blindly raise salaries just because of the intentions of other clubs. We pay more attention to the overall interests and long-term development of the team. "

Philip stood up and said coldly: "Well, Mr. Chairman, it seems that we can't reach an agreement today. But I will continue to fight for Martial's deserved rights. "After that, he turned and left the office, leaving Luo LieThinking alone about this tricky negotiation.

A few days later, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United officially announced that Manchester United's French player Anthony Martial was transferred away for 30 million pounds + Marco Verratti; Manchester United signed a 4-year contract with Italian midfielder Marco Verratti, who will wear the No. 8 jersey in the new season.
