Manchester United returned to Manchester that evening with the Champions League trophy.

The next day, there was a city-wide victory parade with four trophies on the buses!

The League Cup and FA Cup trophies are lined up, with the Champions League and Premier League trophies at the centre.

Tang Hong and his teammates were dressed in casual clothes, he wore a pair of fashionable sunglasses, and he was full of pride in watching the spectacular scene of thousands of empty alleys with his teammates.

The whole of Manchester is also full of laughter, and of course, the fans of the rivals Manchester City will definitely take the initiative to stay away from the bus line, so as not to be bored after seeing it.

Ferguson was the last to take the stage when the team gave his championship speech in the square, and after David Gill had already summed up the club's outstanding performances this season and made new history in Manchester, Ferguson announced a piece of news that shocked the audience.

He announced his retirement!

Tang Hong had certain expectations in his heart, but his teammates did not.

Van Persie was directly stunned.

If Tang Hong is willing to join Manchester United because of Ferguson, Van Persie is no different!

Van Persie has achieved his dream of winning the title, but his career is not over yet!

Alex Ferguson himself gave a positive speech, believing that Manchester United will continue to ride the waves and create new glory in the future with the excellent quality of the previous club!

An old man over 70 years old can have such a positive attitude, it is easy to touch the fans at the scene, and they are also quick to accept and use applause to wish Ferguson his life after retirement.

If it weren't for the victory parade, Van Persie would have questioned Ferguson, but now he can only send his blessings as it comes.

Tang Hong observed that most of the players still showed sadness and reluctance.

In the past few years, Ferguson has not been as violent as he was a decade ago, at least rarely, but he is still full of majesty, and playing under him will give players a sense of being a warrior and will take his teachings to heart.

There is probably no second manager who can appear in their minds like this.

When the championship parade ended, Tang Hong took Bai Mu to attend the celebration banquet in the Manchester United team.

Ferguson became the protagonist because he was retiring and every player stepped forward to congratulate him.

Tang Hong was no exception, when he came to Ferguson with a wine glass, Ferguson, who had already drunk some wine, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I hope you can accept my last piece of advice to you, renew your contract with Manchester United tomorrow, and I will continue to watch your unparalleled performance on the field in the stands!"

You'll soon be able to become Mr. Golden Ball. ”

Tang Hong didn't nod, just smiled and touched a glass with Ferguson.

For the first time, Bai Mu noticed that Tang Hong was pretending, and she was as beautiful as a fairy in a beige dress, and she held Tang Hong's hand, leaned close to him and whispered in his ear, "Why do I feel that you are hiding something?" ”

This celebration banquet is indeed pleasant, but Tang Hong has his own ideas, Ferguson is determined to retire, and he has to think about his future.

He turned his head and kissed Bai Mu's soft face, and smiled: "I'm leaving Manchester United." ”

Bai Mu was a little surprised, so she asked, "Where will you go?" ”

She didn't ask why, because that was Tang Hong's decision.

Tang Hong shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know, but I won't stay here." ”

Bai Mu sighed lightly: "It's a pity that I can't accompany you." ”

Tang Hong said to her: "Do what you like, it's all good." ”

Bai Mu smiled at him, which was really fascinating.

After the celebration banquet, Tang Hong took Bai Mu to the UK for a three-day vacation, and then he wanted to return to China to compete in the World Preliminaries.

Tang Minghui has already returned to China before the others.

Carrington Training Base.

While the sensation of Manchester United's title win and Alex Ferguson's retirement remains a hot topic around the world, David Gill's departure has been quiet.

Ed Woodward, who has moved from a financial planning executive to the CEO position, has re-selected his office at the Carrington training base, with a larger space and better orientation, and although there are no players training at the training base at this time, and all the teams are on vacation, he still came to his new office.

Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the pitch at Carrington's training base, and it's as if he's in charge here.

Alex Ferguson's retirement means that United's power structure will be reshuffled.

David Gill was previously only in charge of commercial operations, including his predecessor, Kenyon, who was poached by Chelsea.

To put it simply, if Manchester United were to buy a player or sell a player, it would have been through Ferguson's nod for more than two decades!

Ferguson said no, then there would be no player coming, Ferguson said buy him, and the club will negotiate the offer!

A club's core influence and source of income is actually the first-team players.

Only with a good record can you have a high income and greater influence and fame.

If the record is not good, the value of the club will fall, and if it continues to be bad, the club will gradually depreciate.

Woodward is now going to break the old system and he will control everything at Manchester United!

Completely above the manager.

He is a Manchester United fan, never dreamed that he would one day become the emperor of the land, and he has been on the rise from his involvement in the Glazer family's takeover of Manchester United to the present day.

The clean and tidy office welcomed Woodward's first guest.

Jorge Mendes, who was in a suit, came to the office and shook hands with Woodward and sat on the sofa, and after the secretary brought him a cup of hot tea, Woodward smiled at him and said, "I have been looking forward to your arrival, I hope you can send me a gift, and I will show my sincerity." ”

Mendes naturally understood the meaning of Woodward's words.

Now the situation has developed to the point that if Mendes can get Tang Hong to renew his contract with Manchester United, then Manchester United will pay him 5 million pounds!

It's definitely a sky-high gratuity!

But Mendes showed an embarrassed expression and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm not here to talk to you about Tang Hong, but Nani and Anderson, I want to know the club's plan for them, whether they will continue to stay at the water cooler after the arrival of the new manager, the success of Manchester United in the past season made me happy, but my two clients were not happy, I have a responsibility to help them solve their troubles." ”

Woodward smiled and shook his head, "But I just want to talk to you about Tang Hong, Nani?" Anderson? I won't know until the new manager arrives if they're still in the planning for the new season, and then we can talk about their future, and it doesn't have to be so formal, just a text message, a phone call. ”

Mendez sighed lightly and said, "Okay then, I'll take my leave first." ”

Woodward put away his smile and frowned at this time: "Tang Hong really doesn't renew the contract?" ”

Before Mendes could get up, he gave the other party an affirmative answer.

'Yes, he will not be renewing his contract with Manchester United, and the clause in his contract that automatically extended him for a further year following Alex Ferguson's retirement has expired.

Now that he has only one year left on his contract with Manchester United, I am looking for a new club for him, and out of respect for Manchester United I would not recommend him move to another club in the Premier League, but if he insists, I will not be able to go against his will.

Chelsea and Manchester City are both interested in him, with a £25million offer coming to United as soon as this afternoon.

Manchester United will certainly reject an offer from Manchester City, but consider an offer from Chelsea. ”

Woodward laughed angrily and shook his head, "This is the funniest joke I've heard this year."

Are you kidding me?

£25 million?

If you can buy a striker who has scored 60 goals in a season for Manchester United, there will be no 80 million pounds of Cristiano Ronaldo in this world! ”

Mendes nodded seriously and said: "Well, indeed, Tang Hong's value should not be less than 50 million pounds now, but considering that his contract only has one year left, this price is not too low, and it can be discussed again, but the ceiling will not be high, after all, those clubs are willing to use the saved money directly as a signing fee to Tang Hong." ”

Woodward realized at this time that Mendes was right, and he said categorically: "We can't sell Tang Hong, even if we keep him for a year, his contribution to the team, even if it is selling jerseys, can make us more than 25 million pounds!" ”

Mendes sighed lightly: "Well, I originally communicated with Tang Hong about this matter, and he said that if Manchester United forced him to keep him for a year, he would be willing to accept it, after all, he has achieved unprecedented success here."

I can understand his gratitude, but I am his agent, and I can't just listen to him and ignore his interests.

So I can tell you that if Manchester United force him to keep him for a year, then Manchester United will have to be ready to wear the Manchester City shirt next summer!

And I would certainly say Ed Woodward caused it all to happen.

Sir, do you want to make a bet with me? ”

Woodward's expressionless eyes were a little cold, and he stared at Mendes in a-for-tat manner, and after a while, he first softened his expression and said softly: "You know that we have great sincerity in expecting him to stay at Old Trafford.

What kind of requirements does he have? We can make the biggest concessions. ”

Mendel shook his head admittently: "This kid just wants to play in peace, play good games, get stronger, and play in a team that he thinks is harmonious and competitive."

United are not going to bring Ferguson back, and you can't wait to announce that the next manager is David Moyes.

Truth be told, he was disappointed with the decision, he didn't think Moyes could make a positive difference for Manchester United, and simply put, Moyes is not material to coach the giants.

I agree on this point.

The disagreement between us is not about the treatment clause in the contract, but about the fundamental change in the environment of Manchester United as a club.

David Gill is gone, Alex Ferguson is gone, two of the three most important parts of a club have changed, and the outside world is still basking in the joy of the quadruple and a bit of an afterthought, but the impact will only be felt when the new season begins.

I'm in favor of him leaving, he should be working with top coaches, he should be playing in a team with passion and drive, that's what suits his temperament.

I'm so sorry. ”

Woodward gritted his teeth and said: "Manchester United made him!" ”

Mendes took this to his heart, shaking his head and saying: "If he had joined Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid last summer, do you think Manchester United would have fallen in the last 16 or the last eight of the Champions League? ”

Woodward was speechless.

Mendes got up to say goodbye, and before going out, he turned back to him and said, "I hope you can give me an answer about Nani and Anderson soon, I'm going to be a little busy this summer." ”
