Woodward looked at Liu Yun seriously and said, "I need to confirm one thing. Liu, are you interested in joining us at Manchester United? ”

Liu Yun's heart moved. Manchester United? Manchester United, your favorite as a young man? Manchester United's chairman personally asked if he would like to join the Red Devils in his heart forever?

Liu Yun said almost without thinking: "There is an intention!" In fact, Manchester United was my favourite team when I was younger, and it carries so many memories of my youth. Joining Manchester United is something I've always dreamed of. ”

Woodward nodded, "Good." You are a good player. Since you are interested in joining Manchester United, we will work hard to get you through the special talent clause. ”

Ferguson took a glass of wine and said: "I'm sure I'm going to convince the FA people to get the FA people to apply to the Department of Labour for a hearing." Whether or not the Labor Department's hearing committee can approve the application depends on the legal department's Klin's rhetoric. ”

Woodward nodded and said humorously, "I trust Kling." After all, his mouth could bring the fish of the English Lake ashore. ”

Woodward asked Liu Yundao again: "By the way, it is said that Chinese athletes like to change their age. Are you really forty-five? ”

Liu Yun replied, "It's true that I'm forty-five years old, but ten days will be my forty-sixth birthday." ”

Cook continued: "It doesn't matter if you're forty-five or forty-six. In the eyes of the veterans at the Department of Labor, players who apply for the special talent clause are only two years old. One is under 25 years old and the other is over 25 years old. ”

Liu Yun's agent Goodman said: "Now that the two sides have confirmed their intention to transfer, should we talk about wages next? ”

Liu Yun suddenly thought of Old George: "Goodman, when I transfer to Manchester United, do I want to ask for the club's opinion?" ”

Goodman shook his head: "George Sr. has already made his attitude clear to me on behalf of the Coventry Club. He's 100 per cent behind you coming to Manchester United. ”

Woodward nodded and said to Goodman and Liu, "The issue of wages is really important. I can quote the reserve price on behalf of Manchester United right now. We are willing to pay £50,000 a week for the old lieutenant! ”

A weekly salary of 50,000 pounds is indeed sky-high if placed in League Two. However, in the star-studded Premier League giants Manchester United, this is a real low salary. You must know that Woodward has just made an offer of £200,000 a week for Everton's Romelu Lukaku.

For Liu Yun, to be able to join Manchester United, which he loved so much when he was young, the weekly salary is not a problem at all. In addition, the weekly salary of the English team is calculated according to the 52 weeks of the year. This is an annual salary of 2.6 million pounds, which means that he can get a salary of more than 20 million yuan every year.

Of course, this is pre-tax income. Liu Yun also has to pay taxes in the UK. But even after deducting taxes, this is already considerable.

Liu Yun replied: "I can accept such a weekly salary. ”

Woodward filled several glasses with wine and poured lemonade into another.

He handed the wine glass to a few people around him, and later handed the lemonade to Liu Yun.

"Okay, then we wish the old lieutenant a smooth entry into Manchester United!"

Several people drank the contents of the cups.

Woodward told Liu Yun again: "Liu, now you can tell everyone around you, including media reporters, that Manchester United is inviting you to join!" ”

Liu Yun was puzzled: "Isn't it necessary to strictly abide by the news?" ”

Manchester United's number one scout Cook explained for Woodward: "You've now led the small club Coventry to win the FA Cup over Chelsea. Do you know what the outside world says about this game? ”

Liu Yun replied, "Of course I know." Fans dubbed the game the Coventry Miracle. ”

Cook shook his head: "There is another name you may not know." The media in England, called the game 'the victory of the old lieutenant'. You have now won the hearts of all the English football media! If you tell them they are interested in bringing you in now, they will definitely support you in a positive article in the newspapers! This would put pressure on the FA and the Ministry of Labour. It is beneficial for you to pass the hearing of the special genius clause! ”

Liu Yun nodded.

After the five people finished talking, Liu Yun went downstairs and returned to the team's celebration party. His agent, Goodman, stayed upstairs to discuss the details.

Liu Yun returned to Isabella and her daughter. Isabella is very understanding, and she can see that Liu Yun's calm expression actually hides excitement.

"Honey, what's wrong? I guess it must be a good thing, right? Isabella asked Liu Yun.

Liu Yun replied: "Just now, Mr. Woodward, the chairman of Manchester United, made an invitation to join me. ”

When he said this, Ru An was leading his fiancée to Liu Yun's side. Hearing Liu Yun's words, Ru An was taken aback: "Liu, my dear old lieutenant, what did you just say, I didn't seem to hear clearly?" You said Manchester United invited you to join? ”

Liu Yun nodded: "Yes." ”

Ruan left his fiancée behind and walked directly to the center of the banquet hall, where he tapped his glass with a spoon to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he shouted: "Brothers, Manchester United has extended an invitation to our old lieutenant to join!" Let's raise a glass and wish the old lieutenant a smooth entry to Manchester United! ”

The players and their families raised their glasses: "Cheers!" ”

Isabella is a complete pseudo-fan. It's just because the children in the orphanage like it, and her boyfriend is a Coventry player, that she watched a few Coventry games. She had no idea what Manchester United's invitation to join was.

However, she saw that Liu Yun's teammates were very happy to hear the news, and she knew that it must be something beneficial to Liu Yun.

Isabella kissed Liu Yun on the cheek: "Congratulations, dear." ”

Liu Xiaoyan on the side teased: "Dad, you can't forget your daughter if you have a new daughter-in-law!" I want to kiss too. ”

After speaking, Liu Xiaoyan walked up to her father and kissed Liu Yun on the cheek.

The ability of a reporter from The Sun, Britain's most authoritative football lace news newspaper, was comparable to that of the Chinese paparazzi, and a reporter from The Sun had infiltrated the banquet hall.

He took out his camera and walked up to Liu Yun: "Hello, I'm a reporter from The Sun. Old lieutenant, this is your girlfriend and daughter, right? Can you ask them to repeat what they did and kiss you left and right at the same time? ”

Although he has long heard the name of the lace authority of "The Sun", Liu Yun is not one of those arrogant and domineering Chinese stars. For the paparazzi, his opinion is that everyone's job is not easy, and being able to meet people's wishes is regarded as a favor for these people.

"Okay." Liu Yun replied.

Daughters Liu Xiaoyan and Isabella kissed Liu Yun on the left and on the right. The three of them smiled very brightly.

A few days later, the photo made the front page of The Sun. The title is "The Happy Old Lieutenant of Huaguo". But that's all for later.
