The weather is terrible today, it is cloudy and the wind is not small.

Even in the warm office, Mourinho still felt a little cold listening to the sound of hunting outside the window.

He put away his notebook, stood up, and made two cups of tea.

Ever since Xia Xing gave him some Huaguo green tea, he quickly fell in love with it.

It's a good thing, and Jean Woodward will try it later.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Woodward pushed open the door and strode towards Mourinho, smiling and giving him a warm hug.

"Jose, you've worked hard lately, why do I feel like you've lost weight?"

"Well, maybe it's a black trench coat that looks thin."

"Haha, don't make a fuss, you're just working too hard for Manchester United, I've already said hello to the club's management, and I'll give you a Christmas gift that you can get your hands on."

"Thank you."

Woodward is not tall, slightly bald, and his red cheeks look very relatable, not like the CEO of a well-known football club, but like an ordinary English white-collar worker.

But if anyone dares to underestimate him, then they will wait to suffer.

This business wizard has quite a knack.

Even the smart Mendes is very cautious in dealing with him.

The two sat down, and Mourinho pointed to the green tea on the table.

"Drink some tea, authentic Huaguo, super good."

Woodward took a sip and nodded, "Xia gave it to you." ”

"How do you know?"

"Alyona sent me some too, and although I can't tell what kind of variety they are, they taste the same as this one."

"That little girl is really a natural business wizard."

"Hehe, after all, Xia is a Manchester United player, and their sports company also has a lot of contacts with Manchester United, so it will definitely be beneficial to have more friends in the management."

"Of course, you're one of Europe's most famous business elites."

"Don't make fun of me, Jose."

The two chatted while drinking tea, and quickly got to the point.

Mourinho also didn't mention Pogba and waited for Woodward to say it first.

Sure enough, Woodward spoke first.

"José, I also know your character, so I won't go around the bush with you.

'Raiola approached me twice a while ago and talked to me about Pogba's situation.

He said he wanted Pogba to play a more important role at Manchester United, such as the heart of the midfield.

"I've been holding it down and haven't talked to you about it.

"After yesterday's Premier League game, that fat guy came to me again.

He said Pogba already has the heart of Manchester United's playmaking and he wants more opportunities.

"That's why I came to talk to you about it today.

"I want to ask for your opinion, can you give Pogba more chances, how about it?"

Listening to Woodward's words, Mourinho didn't answer for a long time, he looked at the other party and spoke slowly.

"When you invited me in May this year, you promised me that as long as I was in the position of manager of Manchester United for one day, the team's tactical arrangements would be all up to me, and the team's transfer matters would also solicit my opinion to the greatest extent, why, this promise didn't work?"

Woodward waved his hand.

"No, no, José, you're thinking too much, it's absolutely impossible to happen.

"The club will never break its promise.

"I think so, after all, Pogba cost Manchester United 105 million euros.

"It would be a shame if there was a gap in the end because of the status of the team and it affected Pogba's form.

'He's a good player too, isn't he?

"Especially in the last game, xia was obviously not in good shape,

'But Pogba came off the bench and scored a goal.

"And doing a good job in the midfield position,

"In the next intensive schedule, we can give Pogba more chances.

"It's not only a maximization of Pogba's use, but also a way to give Xia more time to rest.

"Why not?

"What do you think?"

Woodward's words, there is a lot of moisture.

Mourinho can certainly hear it.

For Pogba, Mourinho doesn't have big expectations.

Even the transfer was not promoted by him in the first place.

You must know that before Mourinho joined Manchester United, Manchester United's top management had already finalized Pogba's transfer in advance.

Otherwise, with Mourinho's iron-fisted rule, he will never allow such a thorn in the team.

Not even if you have talent.

You must know that even Sir Alex Ferguson couldn't hold down Pogba, let alone him?

However, Manchester United finally spent 105 million euros to sign Pogba, which made Mourinho helpless.

If you come to it, you will be safe, so use it well.

And when Mourinho asked the team to sign Xia Xing, there were even questions within Manchester United.

Will the usefulness of xia and pogba overlap? Is this transfer necessary?

In the end, Mourinho directly proposed that this transfer was one of the conditions for him to join Manchester United, and Xia Xing's transfer was finally fully formed.

After Xia Xing joined the team, the senior management has always had some opinions about him.

After all, Pogba is the player they fancie, and Xia Xing is Mourinho's fancie, and the value of the two is more than half.

If Xia Xing kicks out and Pogba is not in good shape, then the face of the management is too unbearable.

So at the start of the league, Pogba clearly gained more support from the club, especially at the top.

Xia Xing has been an assistant for a long time.

But even so, Xia Xing still showed amazing talent, his passing and shooting, surpassing Pogba, repeatedly helping Manchester United turn the tide.

In the end, he also sat firmly in the heart of the midfield playmaker.

Manchester United are doing well and the club's hierarchy is in a good mood.

Pogba is not in good form and the club's hierarchy is in a bad mood.

As far as the management is concerned, they believe that the team's outstanding performance has something to do with Xia Xing, but it is only partial.

Now Manchester United is in excellent form as a team, and whoever is the heart of the organization can shine.

Therefore, if he can help Pogba at this time, maybe he will quickly get back into shape.

In yesterday's game, Xia Xing's form was obviously a little up and down, and Pogba also showed good competitive form after coming off the bench.

This is a good opportunity.

Therefore, Raiola also contacted Woodward as soon as possible, and the two sides hit it off, which led to today's conversation.

Looking at Woodward, who had a simple smile on his face in front of him, Mourinho sneered in his heart.

It's not easy to be a manager at Manchester United and I'm feeling more and more about it now.

It's really hard to be.

If that is the case, then it will be as you wish.

"Ed, I think you have a point,

'Paul Pogba is also a talented player,

"There is a real ability to get more opportunities,

"And Xia's defensive ability is also excellent,

'It's okay to support Pogba.

"In that case, I'm just like I was at the beginning of the season.

"Adjust the team's tactical play again,

"Let Pogba take on greater responsibility,

"Just as you said, how?"
