"Two men, please stay - I think I heard them say that a team from Manchester is recruiting?" Unexpectedly hearing this news, Lu Zhuhu was still very interested.

"Huh? Who are you? Two Tottenham people looked at him: "It's not a recruitment, it's just that the team didn't have enough manpower after they arrived in London and wanted to borrow two midfielders to play temporarily." ”

"Did you borrow it?"

"How is that possible!" Tottenham shouted: "A second-division team, it's already very face-saving to be able to warm up with Tottenham!" We won't give them less of the ticket revenue! Then we have to borrow our players, and they don't play any of them, so let our players play on their own! How can there be such a good thing! ”

Another said: "Well, at most two players from the reserve team will be borrowed for them ......"

Ouch! Here's your chance!

Lu Zhuhu's eyes lit up: "Then do you know where this team lives after coming to London?" ”

Both of them thought that this kid was talking too much: "What do we care about this!" ”

Lu Zhuhu raised his hand: "£1 per person!" ”

"Okay! And they stayed—"

……

Lu Zhuhu bought the information for 2 pounds, and went to find this "promotion horse" who was ridiculed by Tottenham.

Indeed, it is easy to return to the first division, but it is still regarded as a second division team, this is the famous "Red Devils" Manchester United in the future. Manchester United have been relegated more than once in the image of Lu Zhuhu (after all, only Arsenal have not been relegated, and the other Premier League giants have also been relegated), and Manchester United before Sir Matt Busby took charge for a long time, either hovering in the bottom dozen of the first division, or directly relegated to the second division, or even almost fell to the third division.

The worst time was the early 30s, which should be the darkest time in the history of Manchester United, losing all the way in the second division, many old fans have abandoned the team and no longer support Manchester United, when Manchester United played a game, the Old Trafford stadium that can accommodate 80,000 fans often only had more than 3,000 people to watch the game, the club even had no money to pay the players' salaries, the team was about to go bankrupt, fortunately a military uniform manufacturer paid 30,000 pounds to pay the players' wages, Otherwise, England's most successful giants would have burped in 1932...... (Is there a sense of déjà vu that Bundesliga Hamburg is now about to be relegated, and that local tyrant fan pays for the team's salary and reinforcements out of his own pocket?) Even so, United won the final relegation battle to stay in the second division, and the opponent went to the third division......

Meanwhile, Sir Busby, who led Manchester United to their first Champions League for an English club, won the FA Cup with Manchester City this week...... (Hey, sir, there's something wrong with your painting style!) ）

The team survived the rest of the season, not playing well in the second division until the 1935-1936 season, where they were unbeaten in the last 19 games of the second division, winning the second division title and qualifying for promotion to the first division this season. This league title was even United's first trophy in the thirties......

It's so sad......

……

Scott Duncan, the manager of Manchester United at this time, is similar to Sir Busby, Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Moyes (this is not a fake Jazz), he is also a Scottish. But apart from that, he has nothing in common with the two godfathers of Manchester United. Frankly speaking, Gibson, the manufacturer of military uniforms, gave Duncan a lot of money after investing in the club, allowing him to use it to recruit and improve the training conditions of players, but Duncan did not make good use of the money, and the harvest was pitiful compared to the investment. He actually thought about throwing the team away (which he has done later in history), but a 19-game unbeaten run turned out to be a breakthrough in his few years of inaction, and fans began to have greater expectations for a return to the first division next season.

Unlike Arsenal, who were upstarts (after all, Arsenal didn't win their first league title until the 30s, in the eyes of Manchester United fans at the time), United won the top flight and the FA Cup much earlier. In the distant 1907-1908 season, United were already an impressive and unstoppable team, beating Newcastle by six goals, Blackburn Rovers by five goals, Arsenal, Everton and Birmingham by four goals, scoring a record 82 goals in the league and winning the first top-flight trophy in the Red Devils' illustrious history. This was followed by Manchester United's FA Cup triumph in the following season, and the League and Cup competitions were all in place. At this time, Manchester United was even on Bank Street and did not move to Old Trafford!

In 1910, Manchester United officially moved in to Old Trafford, which can accommodate 80,000 people, and the Theatre of Dreams is indeed Manchester United's eternal home, and in the 1910-1911 season, when Old Trafford played a full season for the first time, it once again won the top league championship.

It's a pity that this memory is too long ago for Manchester United fans at this time, even almost 30 years. There have been too many old clubs with outstanding past records in the long history of English football, and there have been many teams like Manchester United who have risen again and climbed to higher heights, and many teams have been lost in the long river of history......

So for Manchester United at this time, will next season be the return of the king, or will it still be the same as in the past, to walk around the first division, let the old friends meet up, and don't forget about me - and then go back to the second division?

Fans and the media, of course, think it will be the former because Manchester United put on a general show in the second half of the second division last season -

But head coach Scott Duncan is actually not optimistic about the team's big achievements, obviously last season was no different, I don't know how to win, I don't know how to lose, I can't lose if I don't know how, it's completely different in the first division, and whether it is himself, or most of the players, there is no experience in the top league, Manchester United has been away from the center of the stage for too long.

However, the pre-season preparations for Manchester United have been more positive than most of the First Division, and the players want to get a taste of the atmosphere of the top flight, so it is a great opportunity to warm up with Tottenham.

But it was very unfortunate that the team went to London, but suffered a series of injuries and attrition-

The game starts tomorrow, but the team can't even put together a complete lineup!

Some of the veterans themselves are still on vacation, and the team from Manchester to London will not bring more reserve players - the reserve players of the second division team will have a bigger gap in strength. It's a whimsical idea to find an opponent to borrow players, after all, after so many years, the team has no "old buddies" in London......

Duncan was having a headache and began to wonder if he should run away before the start of the season in order to retain his reputation as a second-division champion coach, when a young Asian knocked on his door:

"Mr. Manager? I've heard that your team is short of midfielders and I'm playing well, so I'd like to try it for you. ”
