The salary was raised, and Pogba was satisfied.

But Mourinho is starting to have a headache.

Such a high-paid player will be even more difficult to manage next.

I was still thinking of a strict management of the team in the new season, especially Pogba and Anthony Martial.

Now that the two have renewed their contracts with high salaries, what will happen next?

What a headache......

Manchester United's generosity is only aimed at these young players, especially attacking players, and it is not so friendly to some.

There are two players who are about to expire this season with one year left on their contracts.

Right-back Valencia, midfielder Herrera.

Don't look at Manchester United is very generous to Pogba and Martial, but they are a little calculating with Valencia and Herrera.

Regarding the renewal of the contract of the two, the club did not even take the initiative to talk about it.

It stands to reason that since we are talking about renewing the contract, we should talk about it together.

But no.

Eventually, it was Valencia's agent who found Manchester United.

Manchester United, on the other hand, are not very concerned about the 33-year-old Valencia's contract extension.

Even if it was a salary cut, he didn't plan to keep him.

This made the veteran a little chilled.

Finally, they also failed to sign a new contract extension with Valencia this summer.

Valencia will leave the team next summer.

Herrera was even more dissatisfied with the club, and he even told his agent not to take the initiative to talk to the club about renewing his contract.

In the end, I don't know if the club forgot about it, or if it didn't care at all, anyway, it was as if the matter of Herrera's contract renewal did not exist.

Herrera has also asked his agent to help him contact the next family in advance.

Anyway, he is already a six-time champion, and Herrera's competitive level and professional attitude are obvious to all, he has no shortage of admirers, and most of them are big teams.

This made Mourinho even more dissatisfied, and he even quarreled with the club's sports department again.

Valencia and Herrera, it's important for the team.

Even with the young Dalot now, he needs a veteran to bring a belt and gain experience.

After all, the Portuguese youngster is only 19 years old and has not seen too many big scenes.

Herrera, on the other hand, is in the prime of his career and is in good form.

Letting a player like this leave on a free transfer is something that a fool would do.

But there are many things that Mourinho can decide, and he can only accept reality.

Regarding the future of the team, Mourinho is worried, and Xia Xing is also full of worries.

The departure of the three veterans made Xia Xing very reluctant.

The two captains, along with Ibrahimovic, are very important to Manchester United.

The competitive level is one thing, but the more important thing is the mental level.

In the current Manchester United squad, this fighting spirit of the Red Devils needs to be carried on.

And after their departure, United lacked the Red Devils blood of the Mesozoic.

Although he will definitely become the new captain of the team, even so, his deterrent power in the team is still not enough, far less than Rooney and Ibrahimovic.

With the new season approaching and the big names in the team, Pogba and Anthony Martial may not be convinced of their new captain.

No, they won't be convinced.

These things are not things that can be done by relying on personal skills and personality charm.

Some people's character and character are born and cannot be changed.

With a few veterans missing, Xia Xing is under great pressure to take charge of the team in the new season.

Carrick stayed on as an assistant coach, which comforted Xia Xing.

It's still a mental problem, and it's a huge problem at the competitive level.

What Mourinho is worried about, Xia Xing knows better than him, and even more uncomfortable.

lacks good teammates, and the most awkward thing is the player on the field, that is, the captain Xia Xing.

Fred came in midfield, with excellent running ability and well-rounded attacking and defensive skills, which was not bad.

But the front line is in trouble.

With the loss of Ibrahimovic and Rooney, it is very troublesome where to go in the new season.

Lukaku struggled to do it alone and lacked control over the big scenes.

Sanchez is up and down and is getting older.

Marcus Rashford has potential and talent, but lacks consistency.

Anthony Martial, forget it, skip.

There will definitely be a lot of trouble in Manchester United's attacking line in the new season......

Originally, this summer was a relaxing summer for Xia Xing.

After all, he doesn't have a national team event, but he doesn't have an easy time either.

All kinds of business activities come and go, one after another, and they are overwhelmed.

Although Xia Xing doesn't like these business activities, this is the only way for him to go, and it is also the only way for the company to develop.

Although there is Oriona to support her on the outside, there are many occasions when Xia Xing has to come forward.

After all, he is the number one man in the company and the hottest star in international football.

Especially after leading the team to win the honor of six crowns, Xia Xing is now the most shining cherry on the cake of international football.

Even the French team, which won the World Cup, could not hide the glow of the summer trip.

Business elites, political bigwigs, football executives, and upper-level figures in various fields have all become guests of Xia Xing.

No, it should be said that Xia Xing became their guest.

With the improvement of Xia Xing's reputation, the company's economic strength has also risen.

He's really not short of money right now.

In the previous year, the company's annual revenue was around 2 billion euros, which has increased several times and has grown rapidly.

That's why Xia Xing doesn't care about his income in the club.

He could even consider buying Manchester United for a few years if he wanted to.

So before the Champions League final, when the club approached him to talk about a contract extension, he didn't even ask for too many salary increases, just extended his contract until the summer of 2022.

Even his salary was not as good as Pogba's, who received a salary increase later.

But Xia Xing didn't care.

To be rich is to be capricious.

He wants to play football and enjoy football right now.

As for making money, let's talk about it after retirement.

Anyway, now the company is controlled by Aliana.

Before the team's training camp date, Xia Xing returned to Manchester early.

There are certain matters that need to be dealt with in relation to the company's business activities.

After dealing with related affairs, Xia Xing held a small dinner party at his home.

The dinner was attended by acquaintances.

Jose Mourinho.

Mendez.

Carrick.

Perran.

Plus Sister Lyona and Xia Xing.

There were seven people in total, and there were no outsiders.

This meal did not stir-fry, but made a traditional Chinese-style barbecue in the courtyard.

All the raw materials are selected from the best, and the seasonings are all airlifted back from Huaguo, which is authentic.

Xia Xing baked it himself, and Alyona was virtuous on the side.

Although the relationship between the two has not yet been determined, everyone has acquiesced to the relationship, including themselves.

It's just that Xia Xing is more wooden about feelings and doesn't know how to express himself, and Alyona is not in a hurry to urge him, so the two enjoy the intimacy like this.

Anyway, with a top businesswoman like Ariona by her side, there won't be any fox spirit who doesn't open her eyes to Xia Xing.

Keep in mind that Alyona is even linked to the British Razors and the Italian mafia.

The seven of them had a good time chatting about interesting things in life.

However, the topic unconsciously moved in the direction of football...... (End of chapter)
