Sitting on the sofa, Van Gaal handed Xia Xing a cup of coffee.

Xia Xing took a sip.

"It's bitter, isn't it?"

"Well, sort of."

"It's good to get used to it, because that's what life tastes like."

"It seems that you are not only a manager, but also a philosopher."

"It's over. Tell me what you think, what are the three suggestions I have given you, what are you considering? ”

"I've thought about it."

"Tell me."

'I want to leave Manchester United.'

"Loan or transfer?"

"Just transfer away."

Looking at Xia Xing's determined eyes, Van Gaal nodded: "I guessed it." ”

"Oh? Guessed? ”

"Yes, after a few words on the plane, I found out that you are a young man with personality, and it is not surprising that you would make such a choice. I'm interested in what you think. ”

Since he wanted to leave, Xia Xing did not shy away from it and spoke freely.

'We're all Manchester United fans as a family and I have a lot of affection for it.

"I really want to be able to stay here if I can.

"Even if the treatment is worse and the competitive pressure is higher, I can accept it.

"But after listening to your coaching strategy, I have already decided to leave.

"I've had a lot of feelings during my year at Leicester.

"I love to play, but I'm never going to sit on the bench.

"So, just because I like Manchester United doesn't mean I have to stay at Manchester United hopelessly.

"I don't like that feeling.

'I want to leave and go to a club that gives me a chance to play and a place in the team.

"To make my football dream come true.

"That's what I really think, without reservations."

Xia Xing finished speaking simply and looked at Van Gaal.

Van Gaal listened carefully, nodded, and asked curiously: "Don't you feel sorry to leave Manchester United so decisively?" ”

Xia Xing shook his head: "No regrets." If one day I play and I can do it, Manchester United will beg me to come back. ”

"Huh?" Van Gaal was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Hahahaha!

"Good boy, you've got you!

"You're so good!

"It's great to have this courage, I love it!

"Actually, to be honest, I think you have some potential in the future.

"Although I may not give you a place for a short time,

"But if you can stay, I'm still willing to train you,

"Whether you stay in the team or go out on loan, you will do your best to develop you.

'Until a few seasons later, you have the ability to be a big part of Manchester United.

"But hearing these words from you,

"I think I'm thinking about it simply.

"You have a clear goal and a firm idea,

"It's good, it's good.

"The club has given me full control over the players.

"Especially the question of where you young players stay.

"Since I promised you, I will let you go.

"I've thought about your transfer fee before,

"I'm going to price you 5 million euros.

'You came to Manchester United on a free transfer last year and now you're playing in the Championship.

"The price is actually lower than the market price, you know.

"But Manchester United have always been very kind to the departing players.

"Keeping the transfer fee down for you is also hoping that you can get a better salary package for your new team.

"I'll post your transfer information later,

'You can talk to any club right now.

Hearing these words, Xia Xing let out a sigh of relief.

That's not a bad result.

As a key player in Leicester City's breakthrough last season and an FA Cup MVP player, Xia Xing is worth more than 5 million euros.

In addition, Xia Xing is a young player with an English household registration book, and his value can be directly doubled.

You must know that in the Premier League, the effect of the household registration book is quite obvious.

Looking at Van Gaal in front of him, Xia Xing had a little more good feelings in his heart.

Although Van Gaal has made it clear that he will not give himself a chance in the new season and has not made any polite words about his transfer requests, this is Van Gaal's style.

Be decisive and simple, don't drag the mud and water, what to say, even if you offend people, it doesn't matter.

Xia Xing nodded: "I accept this condition." ”

"That's good," Van Gaal patted him on the shoulder, "young man, although I sold you today, if one day I think you are good, I may really buy you back, hehe." ”

Xia Xing smiled.

One day, this may be the farthest day.

Leaving Van Gaal's room, Xia Xing turned around and said.

"Coach Louis van Gaal, although I haven't had too much contact with you, you still make a big impression on me.

"I think you're a good coach.

"If Manchester United can give you enough patience and trust,

"I believe you will lead Manchester United down the right path,

"Goodbye."

Xia Xing gently closed the door, and Van Gaal stood in place for a moment.

Then, suddenly, laughing.

What if Manchester United could give me enough patience and trust?

That's it, hehe.

Funny kid.

After he turned back to his desk, he dialed a phone call: "Let's release the news of Xia's listing." ”

"Is the transfer fee still the 5 million euros set before?"

"Well, that's right, you can prepare the contract text in advance."

"Okay."

"Oh yes, add one to the contract."

"Add what?"

"Add a buy-back clause for Manchester United, set at €30 million."

"Okay!"

Hanging up, Van Gaal looked out the window.

His team purge plan has already begun, and many players have already received calls from him and are looking for a home.

But he always felt that this young man seemed to be a little different.

You may not be able to make up for it as much as you can, but try to make up for it as much as you can.

The 30 million euro buyback clause can also be regarded as a guarantee for the future.

Who knows if the youngster will actually play in the Premier League?

Van Gaal's move is just an ordinary transfer act.

Even if he thought Xia Xing was good, he didn't care too much.

Little did he know that in a few years' time, United would be grateful to him for his actions today.

But that's all for later.

Leaving the club, Xia Xing looked at the time.

It's almost noon.

He got in a cab and went to a restaurant in Manchester.

Because here, he made an appointment to meet.

Yesterday afternoon, Xia Xing received a phone call, and the self-reported door on the other side of the phone surprised Xia Xing.

It's a big shot!

And the other party was actually in Manchester, and he came all the way to him.

This surprised Xia Xing even more.

But that's a good thing, Xia Xing arrived at the restaurant fifteen minutes early.

But when I walked into the room, I found that the other party had arrived.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay, I'm a little early. I went to the club to talk about the transfer, and what was the result? ”

"As you expected......"
