Chapter 5 is ready to go

Prior to Shaq's return, the "Red Devils" had already played two warm-up games, and Simon? Grayson used a lot of caution in arranging the schedule of warm-up matches, the previous two warm-up games were played by the team without the stars of the World Cup, the first was a 0-0 draw at home to Sporting Lisbon, and the second was a 3-1 home game against Mexico's St. Luis.

The team's performance...... That's it, the two opponents are not very strong, and Manchester United's incomplete lineup did not lose and let Simon? Grayson is satisfied, and the adjustment of the state will take a process.

But when Shaq, the last "Red Devils" rib, returns, the new season of Manchester United will be formed.

However, the fire sale in the transfer market is not over yet, and Van Gaal wants to buy Phil now? Jones, in Simon? The 22-year-old England international centre-back is currently in talks with Leeds United on a personal contract after Grayson agreed to a £15.25 million offer from Leeds United.

For Van Gaal's transfer strategy, Simon? Grayson can only scoff, this old thing is simply here to harm the "Young Guard", Phil? Jones has the potential to die, but he is far from Reid, who has already played and is about to become a world-class central defender. Jones, that's just a £3 million difference!

The Dutch veteran has bought as many as 12 players after taking over the Elland Road stadium, and it seems that the "Young Guards" in the new season must become unrecognizable.

Simon? Grayson looked at the current list of the "Red Devils" first team, and a sense of happiness came spontaneously............

Now there are 24 players in the Manchester United first team, and David is in the goalkeeper position? De Gea, Kuszczak, Robert? Green, the 34-year-old West Ham United England international is Simon? Grayson's number one substitute poached from the Hammers for free.

Robert? Green is still keen to win some accolades at the end of his career, and he is 34 years old after debuting at Norwich City with West Ham United, with Norwich City having nine years and West Ham United having eight years. Robert, empty-handed? Green just wants an honor right now, when Simon? After Grayson told him he would be the team's first substitute goalkeeper, the veteran goalkeeper didn't hesitate to come to Manchester United with a blanket roll.

Polish goalkeeper Kuszczak, who was once pinned on by the "old man", has not played all these years, and was loaned to Porto last season and only played 6 games, because he conceded 7 goals in 6 games. Now back to Manchester United by Simon? Grayson stayed as the third goalkeeper, and the 32-year-old Kuszczak had little future.

De Gea, Robert? Green and Kuszczak, the "Red Devils" no longer need to worry about the goalkeeper position.

On the back line, is it Simon? Where Grayson has been remodeled the most, Jose? Angel, Papadopoulos, VanderWiel are all doing well, plus Subotic, these four are Simon? Grayson's ideal guard line.

In addition, Nemanja Vidic, Evans, Rafael, Fabio, Chris Smalling and others are on the bench, and the "Red Devils'" defensive problems have basically been solved, and the next thing is to see who of these players is in better shape and can better suit the team's new tactics.

In midfield. The thickness that Manchester United have accumulated before is really amazing, and in Simon? After Grayson purged Carrick and Fletcher, Manchester United still have Flanei, Asamoah, Di Maria, Nani, Cleverley, Valencia, Ganso, Ashley? Young and other stars, plus Shaq, a total of nine players available for Simon? Grayson blending.

Although the forward line is a little weak, Rooney, Van Persie, and Hernandes are indeed a top three, and Simon? Grayson's tactics are more about wingers than centre-forwards, and none of the three forwards can be used.

After the team is assembled. Simon? Grayson took the "Red Devils" to start the warm-up journey to North America, first easily defeated the Toronto team 2:0. Another 4-0 win over the Colorado Rapids.

After playing two games at the back with Shaq, against the New York Red Bulls, the third and final warm-up game in North America, Simon? Grayson pushed Shaq to the forward position, but although Shaq scored a goal, Manchester United's red defence also leaked, and finally the "Red Devils" won the game with a score of 4:1.

Ended the North American tour. Back at the Carrington base, Simon? Grayson began to make further adjustments to the team, and it was not a small fight, but another major operation.

First of all, Simon? Grayson demanded that Ganso had to adapt to his new position...... Organized back!

There is also the fact that Flaney must get acquainted with Shaq's personal characteristics as soon as possible, otherwise, ...... Leave!

And Asamoah. Is it in Simon? After Grayson talked to him, he was directly pushed into the transfer market, and the star who was bought by Moyes for 19.5 million pounds in the winter transfer last season. Grayson doesn't even have a place here, but there's no way around it, Simon? Grayson only recognizes the back that can cooperate with Shaq, and Shaq's stability is well known, this kid can continue to play at a high level like a robot, and the midfield really doesn't need so many people.

The 25-year-old Ghana has no shortage of defenders, and as soon as he was pushed into the transfer market, he immediately attracted Arsenal, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham Hotspur and other teams...... Only a team like Manchester United with Shaq can sell Carrick, Fletcher, and Asamoah in a summer!

However, this also re-exposes the failure of Moyes' transfer strategy in a way, you have nothing to do with hoarding so many backs!?

Even if three midfielders are sold, there is no shortage of people in the Manchester United team!

This side is selling people, and over there Manchester United played a warm-up game at home against Spanish powerhouse Valencia, this time Simon? Grayson used a combination of Shaq in front and Ganso in the back, and the "Red Devils" beat Valencia 4-1 at home with goals from right-back Valencia, Hernandes, Rooney and Shaq.

Three days later, United played Leicester City again, this time Simon? Grayson used a combination of Shaq and Flaney, but the team drew 2-2 away to Leicester City. Shaq scored another goal and showed good form.

After all the 7 warm-up games before the season, the "Red Devils" have achieved an unbeaten record of 5 wins and 2 draws, and the overall performance is still quite good. Grayson had some supportive voices on a television talk show. Several representatives of the "Red Knight" have expressed their appreciation for Simon? Grayson's support.

'There has been a lot of excitement in the transfer market since Simon took charge of Manchester United, but we can still see that the team has really improved.

"David Moyes's poor coaching ability has created a lot of obstacles for Simon, but at the moment, Simon is a bold manager, not only daring to operate on the team, but also daring to do something to the veterans who are no longer in form but still occupy positions that hinder the development of young people, and I am now glad that Ryan Giggs chose to retire at the end of last season, otherwise...... Anyway, if I see Ryan wearing another team's jersey. I'm going to be heartbroken. ”

"Simon's purge of the team is quite thorough, and I think it's time for the team to reform, purge those veterans and buy players who are in their playing years, not only to improve the team's combat effectiveness, but also to see the team's expenses, which is the beginning of a virtuous circle."

Simon? Grayson's purge of the "Red Devils" can be called an earthquake-like purge, almost completely changing Manchester United. Ferdinand, Welbeck, Carrick, Phil? Jones, Asamoah and other players who have been purged one by one were almost all seen by Moyes as a lifesaver last season. But in the end, no one could save him.

The recruitment after the purge also made Manchester United fans talk about it, and the 50 million pound Shaq doesn't need to say much, even Jose? Angel, Papadopoulos and Van der Wiel also showed a high level of competition, and the veteran Roberto ? The addition of Green has made Manchester United's goal more solid, and the "Red Devils" have unconsciously increased their fighting power compared to last season, and at least two players in each position have also made the team more competitive. This kind of recruitment strategy is what a big team should have.

Even the "old man" Ferguson was interviewed this time to Simon? Grayson's work was positive: "Simon has done a fantastic job in the last two months, he has done what Moyes should have done last season, and I don't praise the two in terms of coaching ability, but it's just Simon's boldness, which Moyes doesn't have. ”

The English Premier League schedule for the new season has been released. Manchester United will host Swansea City in the first round of the game, this team from the Premier League relegation after two years to return to the ranks of the superteam, it is still very difficult to create some problems for the "Red Devils", the new season Manchester United can easily usher in a good start.

Simon? Grayson didn't have much time to care about that, he was still training hard with the team, he couldn't integrate his own tactics into the "Red Devils", he couldn't lead the team to good results, and his transfer strategy was in vain.

The battle for Asamoah, which was played by six teams, finally came to an end, and the "Gunners" Arsenal eventually emerged as the winners, buying the Ghanaian midfielder from Manchester United for £16 million six months ago, which cost Manchester United £19.5 million six months ago.

"Gunners" new coach Steve? After Bruce took over Arsenal, he still followed the "professor" stingy style, selling people in the transfer market to earn 8.8 million pounds, and buying people only used 25 million pounds, but he made up for the weakness of Arsenal in the "professor" era without a good back, and this transfer transaction was also highly praised by the media, and everyone thought that this time Arsenal earned and Manchester United lost.

It's just that who earns and who loses depends on the performance after the start of the new season...... (To be continued......)
