2017 has passed.

This year, there is so much good.

Especially for a rebuilding Manchester United, it's pretty good.

They carry the crown of the quadruple and enjoy a successful season.

And so far this season, they have also won on multiple fronts and are in excellent form.

Even though they have suffered two draws in a row, they are still 10 points clear of second-placed Manchester City.

They are impacting even greater miracles.

Despite the big lead, their rivals didn't give up.

Especially this winter, the sprint to the winter transfer period has been particularly fast.

Manchester City spent a lot of money and spent 65 million euros at the start of the transfer window to sign Spanish defender Aymeric Laporte.

This transfer deal has been planned by Pep Guardiola for a long time, and Laporte had already arrived in Manchester for a medical examination a few days in advance.

For Manchester City, their goal in this game is to compete for the title on multiple fronts, and they need a strong rotation of players.

In addition to the defensive line, the offensive line was further strengthened.

Youth team youngster Brahim Dias was promoted to the first team.

The 18-year-old Spanish attacker is a talented player that Pep Guardiola highly values.

Fast speed, good dribbling, good passing, and over time.

Manchester City spent a lot of money, and Liverpool directly spent nearly 100 million yuan.

They signed Virgil van Dijk, the heart of Southampton's defence, for €85 million.

This transfer broke the record for defenders!

"Klopp is crazy!"

That's the headline in the sports section of The Times today.

Such a high transfer, just buying a defender, is too exaggerated, right?

But those who really know the value of this transfer are very clear.

You know, Liverpool is not the only club that has a crush on Van Dijk.

Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger and other famous coaches have long publicly expressed their appreciation for Van Dijk.

But because of the high transfer fee, he failed to win this Dutch talent.

In the end, the Liverpool management, who firmly supported Klopp, signed Van Dijk at a high price, signing the defensive core for the next decade.

The reason why Liverpool are so good is also because they have just received a large transfer fee.

Coutinho, who has been clamoring to leave the team, is finally gone.

He moved to his beloved Barcelona for 135 million euros and finally wore the red and blue jersey.

Liverpool sold their attacking core, while Arsenal brought in an attacking core.

Arsene Wenger has spent €64 million to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The 28-year-old world-class striker has finally left Borussia Dortmund for the long-awaited Premier League.

He will replace the departing Alexis Sanchez as the new attacking core of Arsene Wenger's side.

Compared with Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal, Chelsea also spent more than 50 million euros to sign three strong reinforcements.

Roma defender Emerson, Everton midfielder Ross Barkley, Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud.

All three have transfer fees of around 20 million euros, which is exactly 60 million euros earned back.

This is the 60 million euros to sell Diego Costa, after the Spanish striker had already left the team, and now the transfer has officially been completed.

The price of cabbage is average, and the contradiction between Chelsea and Conte is still ossifying.

Tottenham have not been idle this winter, and they have also strengthened their forward line.

28.5 million euros, signing Paris striker Lucas Moura.

The 25-year-old Brazilian striker will be an important piece for Antonio Conte in the second half of the season.

Many strong teams have brought in reinforcements, and Manchester United will naturally not be idle.

For Manchester United, the recruitment of reinforcements is also imminent.

In fact, Manchester United needs to strengthen many positions, such as the defensive line that Mourinho has always been thinking about.

Unfortunately, all of his recruits were vaguely addressed by the management in ambiguous terms.

Mourinho was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

However, the management has not done nothing, and they have been working hard to bring in the strikers.

Sanchez's transfer rumours are now flying all over the place.

However, only insiders know that he is about to join Manchester United.

For Sanchez's joining, Mourinho is very entangled.

On the one hand, he felt that Sanchez was a bit of a lonely, not very team-oriented, and had just been injured at Arsenal and was not in the same thigh level as before.

On the other hand, there is also a small episode - Arsene Wenger wants to add Mkhitaryan to the transfer deal!

What's even more exaggerated is that the club's management actually agreed!

This makes Mourinho very different!

Why, don't you sell people without my consent!

But Woodward's words left Mourinho completely speechless.

'Jose, we don't have a lot of transfer money right now, you know. If you want to buy people, you have to sell people to raise money. Arsene Wenger said that as long as Mkhitaryan is added to the transfer, then he will pay a transfer fee of 34 million euros. This is exactly the transfer fee for Sanchez! In other words, two people are equal! Using Mkhitaryan, who is not in good shape and has been seriously injured for a shortly time, is definitely worth it for a world-class striker! ”

These words made Mourinho unable to find the words to refute for a while.

Mkhitaryan has indeed just been injured and has not been in good shape since he recovered.

But Mourinho has a lot of faith in him and has been trying to help him adjust.

The club also asked him a few times if he had any ideas for getting rid of the Armenians.

Mourinho is adamantly opposed.

Now, the management has finally got its hands on it.

And Mourinho really has nothing to say.

After all, Mkhitaryan's form has been so bad lately that he is willing to give him time, but the club is unwilling to ......

Mkhitaryan also knows that he is getting farther and farther away from the starting line-up at Manchester United, and with Arsene Wenger's invitation and commitment, he is also willing to leave.

Alas......

On New Year's Day, Mkhitaryan went to London for a medical examination to make final preparations before joining.

Before leaving, he sent a message to Mourinho.

"Coach, I'm sorry, I might be leaving. I've been in bad shape since the serious injury, and I'm well aware; You've been helping me, and I understand it, thank you very much. But I'm sorry I still can't get to the good form I was in last season, so I want to leave. I wish you all the best with Manchester United and I hope that one day we will be able to join forces together, goodbye and cherish. ”

Receiving Mkhitaryan's message, Mourinho let out a long sigh.

Alas......

On January 3, before Manchester United were due to play Everton, Manchester United's management announced the transfer news on their official website.

"Arsenal No. 7 star Alexis Sanchez has officially joined Manchester United!"

This is a blockbuster recruitment, which is enough to cause shocks throughout the United Kingdom.

Sanchez is coming!

Everyone knew the news.

Even Manchester United players who are away from home are the first to know.

In the dressing room at Goodison Park, the Manchester United players were talking about the warm-up...... (End of chapter)
