"Manchester United's new No.7!"

On the front page of the Manchester Post, a photo of Xia Xing wearing the number seven jersey took up half of the page.

And this newspaper has long been sold out at major newsstands.

The number seven jersey, which means a lot.

Manchester United's No.7 heritage has a long history.

Eric Cantona, the former king of Manchester United.

David Beckham, Manchester United's former talented midfielder, a top football icon in England and around the world.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the last Manchester United Ballon d'Or winner, is the usherer of a new era.

These well-known names, as long as they are recalled, will make the blood of fans boil.

However, in the following seasons, the number seven shirt was met with skepticism.

Michael Owen, who has suffered repeated injuries, Valencia, who has a mixed reputation on the right, Argentine winger Di Maria, who left after only one season, and Memphis Depay, who failed to live up to his talent under Louis van Gaal......

These players all wore the number 7 shirt but failed to become the next superstar.

Especially the last No. 7 Depay, with the support of Van Gaal's hometown coach, failed to achieve himself, and finally left on loan.

Jose Mourinho is also unimpressed by him, and if nothing else, he will not be back after the end of his loan.

And Mourinho directly left his No. 7 shirt and handed it to Xia Xing.

This expectation and respect can be seen.

In fact, Xia Xing prefers the No. 17 jersey, but here, the significance of No. 7 is extraordinary, and he naturally accepts it happily.

Manchester United's new No.7 in place!

A transfer fee of 50 million euros is not too big a lot of money in European football this summer.

Manchester United, in particular, has just spent 105 million euros to buy Pogba, and Xia Xing's transfer fee is not even half of the French midfielder's.

But even so, he has become the team's hottest star in recent times.

Mourinho, in particular, definitely expects more from him than any other player.

When the transfer was underway, Mourinho personally used his relationship to help Xia Xing find a suitable residence.

His goal is definitely not to stay for a while, but to play for the long term.

This is what Mourinho wants to see, and it is what Xia Xing is looking forward to.

In the end, in the villa area 30 kilometers away from the Carrington training base, Xia Xing found a satisfactory residence.

In fact, there are some interesting stories in between.

This house was actually bought by David Beckham, as a real estate investment, and has not been owned, it is a new house.

Hearing that Xia Xing was looking for a house, Beckham directly took out the house and sold it to Xia Xing for 3 million euros.

This is almost a discount to the market price.

With an optimized price, in exchange for the friendship of a supernova, Beckham is a good businessman.

Another interesting thing about this house is that it is in the same villa area as Sir Alex Ferguson.

A five-minute walk will take you to Ferguson's accommodation.

This also made Xia Xing very satisfied.

As Manchester United's top boss, Ferguson's influence is not trivial.

Even after retiring, he still has a big say in Manchester United.

There are many conveniences to live next to him.

And he was originally brought to Manchester United by Alex Ferguson, and the personal relationship between the two has always been good.

Every time he returns to Manchester United from Leicester City, Xia Xing will visit Alex Ferguson.

Now it's completely convenient.

I went to visit Ferguson's house, but I was in vain.

Ferguson was on holiday with his family and was not at home.

Xia Xing had to call to visit in advance.

“xia！ You're just right back! When I get back next month, I'll invite you to my house for tea! ”

Ferguson's voice is still hearty, and he can tell that he is in good shape.

Xia Xing was very happy.

Mourinho entered the new house with Xia Xing, which was now in order.

The house is clean and tidy.

Mourinho smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I know you like Chinese style, so you didn't arrange for someone to put on the furniture, and you can do the rest yourself." ”

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, I'll be happy to go back and score a few more goals, hahahaha!"

Jose Mourinho is in a good mood.

In the next few days, Xia Xing began to clean up the house.

He brought in big-name designers to design the house as a whole.

It is worth mentioning that this young female designer is Chinese, and her experience is very similar to that of Xia Xing.

According to Xia Xing's wishes, the whole room is decorated in Chinese style.

Antique, very heavy, but the designer added a lot of small decorations, on the one hand, for feng shui considerations, on the other hand, but also to add some spice to the room.

After all, the owner of the house is still young, and the house can be heavy, but it can't look too old.

The three-storey villa has a living room and a few guest rooms on the first floor, the main residential area on the second floor, and a gymnasium, a cinema hall and some function halls on the third floor.

Also included is not a small yard and swimming pool in the yard, all very well renovated.

Even the patterns and arrangements of the exterior walls of the houses are full of oriental design.

Xia Xing was very satisfied with this, and the final payment directly increased by 20%.

The design company was also pleased.

Of course, it is also generous to give the designer a separate red envelope.

After the renovation work was over, Xia Xing invited the designers of the design company and several engineers to have dinner.

After dinner, the others left first, and the young female designer invited Xia Xing to sit at home and chat about oriental culture.

Even if it's a fellow reminiscing.

But Xia Xing refused.

From the affectionate eyes of this young and beautiful female designer, Xia Xing understood some feelings.

However, he decisively refused.

Because he already has a heart.

Bidding farewell to the disappointed female designer, Xia Xing drove back to the villa alone.

The three-storey villa is large and functional, but sitting alone in the living room on the first floor seems a bit lonely.

At this moment, he suddenly missed his home in Leicester City immensely.

Since coming to England, he has rarely remembered his home in China.

Occasionally, I think of my parents.

However, he was sent out to play football since he was a child, and he didn't spend much time at home.

And after going to Leicester, he has a home that he can go back to every night.

Able to cook, have family, someone left him with a light on the night of the game.

It's a good feeling.

After a tired day of busy decoration, thinking about the feeling of home, Xia Xing actually fell asleep on the soft sofa.

When I woke up again, it was already dawn the next day.

He was woken up by a knock on the door.

Because it was under renovation, Xia Xing did not close the courtyard gate.

The visitor did not ring the doorbell outside the courtyard, but went directly to the door.

Needless to say, it must be an acquaintance.

Is Mourinho looking for himself?

Or is Sir Alex Ferguson back?

Or other friends?

Xia Xing got up and opened the door.

Before I could see anyone, I heard a voice first.

"Hello Xia, my name is Li De, it's a pleasure to meet you."
