Jose Mourinho's penchant for summer travel is well known in the Manchester United squad.

For the joining of Xia Xing, Mourinho personally visited the invitation, and many people also knew about it.

Just joined the team, let him be the third captain, obviously special love and training.

Pogba is a little worse by comparison.

After all, the French midfielder was brought in by the club's management.

Regarding Pogba's joining, even Sir Alex Ferguson has personally communicated to the Glazer family and will never recommend buying him back.

But in the end, it didn't work.

And Mourinho couldn't refute the face of the new club, so he could only agree to the transfer.

After all, this transfer does not affect his other buying plans, anyway, it costs the boss's money, and Mourinho does not stop it.

And after Pogba joined the team, he also performed well, and Mourinho was quite satisfied.

Although he doesn't like to defend, he is very useful in attack, so Mourinho turns a blind eye.

But Pogba's eagerness to compete for Xia Xing, Mourinho sees it.

However, it didn't happen on the surface, and it was difficult for him to stand up and mediate.

After all, normal intra-team competition is also reasonable.

So in the coming period, Mourinho will be very attentive to the relationship between the two young talents.

With a win over Manchester City on 10 September, Manchester United had a packed schedule of fixtures ahead.

It is also a three-front operation.

The group stage of the Europa League is coming, and the EFL Cup has officially begun.

A few days ago, the draw for the group stage of the Europa League was held, and the results of the group were announced.

Manchester United's Europa League group stage opponents are: Feyenoord, Fenerbahce and Solja.

The result of this draw was very unsatisfactory, and several opponents were not easy to deal with.

Feyenoord, the third place in the Eredivisie last season, although it is in the period of alternation of the old and the new, but many talented players in the team still maintain the strength of the European giants.

Fenerbahce, who finished second in the Turkish Super League last season, is only five points away from the top of the table, and many of the former well-known European stars in the team are strong once they break out.

Solya, who finished second in the Ukrainian Premier League last season, although there are no top big stars in the team, but the style of play is tough, the impact is strong, and it is difficult to deal with.

Against all three opponents, United will have to brace their spirits and there is no game to relax.

The Europa League is underway, the Premier League continues, and the EFL Cup is also interspersed.

In the following period, Manchester United started with two games a week.

On September 15, Manchester United will welcome the first round of the Europa League group stage against Feyenoord.

On September 18, in the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester United played Watford away.

On September 24, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester United played at home against defending champion Leicester City.

On September 27, in the third round of the English League Cup, away against the lower division team Northampton.

On September 30, in the second round of the group stage of the Europa League, he played Solya.

On October 2, in the seventh round of the Premier League, the home team welcomed the challenge of Stoke City.

The Reds will play six games in the next 18 days.

One game in three days is a great test for the rotation of the team and the physical fitness of the players.

After the win over Manchester City on 10 September, the players took a short break before heading to the Netherlands a day earlier.

Here they met old acquaintances.

Van Persie!

Several opponents in the group stage of the Europa League this time are very related to Van Persie.

He is now playing for Feyenoord, which can be regarded as a return to his roots, after all, he is a star who came out of the Feyenoord academy.

The opponent in this game, Manchester United, is the team he played for before, and also won the coveted Premier League title under Sir Alex Ferguson.

There is another opponent, Fenerbahce, who almost joined the Turkish Super League giants last summer, but ultimately chose to stay in the Premier League.

And it was this choice that allowed him to achieve the highest peak of his career.

This summer, he left Leicester City on a free transfer and returned to the Netherlands to join Feyenoord.

Now that Manchester United is in the Netherlands, Van Persie has come directly to the hotel to meet with everyone.

In the few seasons he spent at Manchester United, he got along well with everyone.

At that time, Manchester United had Sir Alex Ferguson in the company, and it was very cohesive.

"Wayne, I noticed you seem to be fat, haha! I really miss the days when we partnered with the front line! ”

"Carrick, how are your injuries? If it's not good, just rest and rest, I really don't want to see you, you guy is so solid with the ball. ”

"De Gea, I'm going to shoot you tomorrow! Hahahaha! ”

Seeing his old Manchester United team-mates, Van Persie was very enthusiastic.

Wayne Rooney and Carrick also stepped forward to greet Van Persie and joke about it.

However, Van Persie's most enthusiastic treatment is not these old Manchester United teammates, but Xia Xing.

“xia！”

Van Persie hugged Xia Xing and hugged him hard!

"You guy, I really didn't expect to leave! Let me tell you, I was still hesitant to stick to Leicester City for a year, but when I saw Kante leave, I was a little shaken, and you left too! What an exaggeration! You're gone, why am I staying? Just go home! ”

Looking at Fan Persie, who was extremely close to him in front of him, Xia Xing was very moved.

From joining Feyenoord's first team to the present, Van Persie has never been a fuel-efficient lamp.

He is gifted, but has a lonely personality.

At the beginning, he was even isolated by his teammates at Feyenoord, beaten by the manager, and almost ran out of balls.

Later, when I went to the Premier League, whether at Arsenal or Manchester United, I had conflicts with my teammates or coaches.

But in Leicester City, he became a good baby and got along well with everyone.

Especially Xia Xing.

As Leicester City's third captain, Xia Xing has a high prestige in the team.

The two veteran captains relied on their seniority to intimidate the team, while Xia Xing purely relied on his personal charm and excellent skills.

Van Persie, in particular, has received countless passes from Xia Xing throughout the season, and has scored more than 20 goals on all fronts this season.

In the end, Leicester City won the five-time crown, and Van Persie also contributed to it.

And all this he obtained was inseparable from Xia Xing.

"Xia, how are you staying at Manchester United?"

"It's all good, everybody is very nice to me."

"Well, that's good. Although these guys are sometimes unreliable, they are very good people and good teammates, haha. ”

In the café on the first floor, Van Persie had a great conversation with several old Manchester United teammates and Xia Xing.

At this moment, they all seemed to return to that unforgettable time.

Manchester United's veterans are reminded of the passionate era when Sir Alex Ferguson was at the helm.

Xia Xing's mind was also full of Leicester City's past.

It's been a good time.

Everyone chatted for more than an hour, and it was time to say goodbye.

"Robin, our strength is much stronger than yours, and we will definitely kill you tomorrow!"

"! With me tomorrow, I will definitely win you! Wait! ”

Everyone chatted a few more words and sent Van Persie out of the hotel gate.

As he waved goodbye, Van Persie looked at Xia Xing.

"Huh? Robin, do you have something to say? ”

"Hmm."

"Okay."

Looking at Xia Xing in front of him, Fan Persie put away his laughter and his expression was very serious.

"Xia, a season at Leicester City, it was a short time, but I had a great time.

"You are the soul of that team, and because of you, the team achieved the miracle of the five crowns.

'That's what I dreamed of, I didn't expect to get it at Leicester.

"It's great to think back to last season.

"Xia, thank you for making my dream come true!

"I used to be teammates with you,

"I was lucky.

"I wish you all the best,

"I wish you to win the world,

"My brother!"
