Chapter 0797, the newcomers of Manchester United
Fourth in the Premier League and winner of the Europa League.
This result is a pass for Manchester United.
Not bad, actually.
But for the demanding Manchester United management and fans, it was not enough.
The miracle of the six-crown season in 2017-2018 has completely whetted their appetite.
For them, a Europa League is nothing, at least the Champions League semi-finals or something, it should be the most basic operation.
Therefore, the pressure on Manchester United will only be greater next season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has repeatedly urged the board to raise the transfer fee limit, but it has not worked well.
Manchester United are still squirming this summer.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was only given a transfer budget of €50 million.
This is still measured after taking into account the team's sales.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was helpless.
Chelsea's introduction of German youngster Kai Havertz, who spent 80 million euros, has become the target of this summer;
Manchester City's rising defensive star Dias, 68 million euros, is also a lot of money;
Arsenal's midfielder Thomas also has 50 million euros, and the Gunners are not picking and searching now.
Compared to these opponents, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's transfer fee is not even enough to buy a player for the opposing side.
Hehe.
At the end of the day, it's the management that doesn't trust Ole Gunnar Solskjaer enough and is not willing to invest heavily.
If the head coach is replaced by a famous coach such as Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti, do you see if the management pays for it?
Hehe.
In the end, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could only try to buy players with good value for money.
But in today's Jinyuan football environment, where are there any cost-effective players?
In the end, he was ruthless and spent a "high price" of 39 million euros to bring in Ajax's young midfielder Donny van de Beek.
This young man is very good in attack and defense, and he is a good player in the middle.
In order to strengthen the left wing, he brought in Porto's Brazilian defender Alex Telles, which is not expensive, 15 million euros, but it is only a position for Luke Shaw to play as a substitute, nothing more.
If you buy combat power, you also have to buy a little demon.
This is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's usual strategy.
The 18-year-old Uruguayan striker Pellistri has been transferred from Uruguayan club Peñarol for 8.5 million euros. The youngster has only played 20 games in the Uruguayan First Division before being eyeballed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Speed, dribbling and agility are his greatest characteristics.
From Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood to James and now Pellistry, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a fast horse striker.
After buying three people, the transfer fee exceeded 60 million, which has exceeded the expected budget.
This is all in the face of Smalling's transfer and departure that has brought Manchester United a transfer fee of 15 million euros.
This summer, Smalling and Sanchez, two loan players, officially left the team and stayed in Serie A.
They said goodbye to their Red Devils career.
Diogo Dalot was also loaned to AC Milan, with the young defender failing to make the most of his talent and honing his career in Serie A.
There are also several young players such as Andreas Pereira, James Garner and Tahith Chung, who were promoted to the first team by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but have not played much and have been loaned out this season.
The team has been adjusting for a long time, but the key problem has not been solved - the lack of a center forward!
Newly acquired Pellistri was not given a chance to play at Manchester United and was loaned out to Alaves to train before returning after two years.
Manchester United still haven't solved the problem of lack of strikers.
Odion Ighalo's loan signing is not a success, but it is not a failure either.
After all, the price is there, and he's just a temporary transition, just a substitute.
The team needs a center forward who can really score goals.
And now, Manchester United have no money.
They want to be able to find a top-class centre-forward without spending money, the kind that can go to the Champions League this season.
It's a pipe dream.
Management talked about some cheap strikers, but none of them were suitable.
Either they don't look down on Manchester United, or Manchester United doesn't look down on them.
Eventually, they introduced Cavani for free.
The 33-year-old Uruguayan veteran left on a free transfer after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ended this season.
He wanted to go to a wealthy club, but his state was in serious decline, and no wealthy club wanted him.
Manchester United want a world-class striker, but they don't have the money, so they have to deal with it.
In the end, the two sides hit it off and succeeded in holding hands.
Manchester United have added a veteran to their forward line.
It didn't meet Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's goal, but it was better than nothing.
On top of that, Manchester United also has the question of where Drinkwater will stay.
Danny Drinkwater was invited to spend last summer on loan from Chelsea.
After not playing at Chelsea, he gradually regained his form at Manchester United.
Although he is not an absolute mainstay, he is also a rotation player.
Especially during the injury wave at Manchester United, he made a big contribution to the team.
is also because of his tacit understanding with Xia Xing, so that he also has some good performances.
However, for Manchester United, they don't really want to keep Drinkwater.
Because now Manchester United has a lot of midfielders, bought B fees half a year ago, and now has introduced Van de Beek, there is no need to put another Drinkwater.
However, Xia Xing repeatedly suggested that the club could keep his old teammates.
As for whether there were any personal feelings, outsiders did not know, but in the end, Manchester United decided to keep Drinkwater.
However, they did not raise the issue of a buyout with Chelsea, and instead began a tug-of-war.
Because they know very well that there is absolutely no problem with this transfer.
First of all, Drinkwater himself wanted to stay.
Especially with Xia Xing, he has a better chance of staying at Manchester United.
Then there's Manchester United's desire to keep him, and that's no problem.
Whether it is tactical considerations or to save face for Xia Xing, the club decided to keep people anyway.
Then there's the Chelsea problem.
They now have a bloated squad and can't use the existing players, so they have to be loaned out, let alone recall a player that the team doesn't need.
It's just a matter of transfer fees, it's troublesome.
Manchester United's transfer team is operational.
When they buy others, they can be described as generous, but when they buy Drinkwater, they hesitate.
It's a buyer's market anyway, and they're not in a hurry.
In the end, they simply spent €10 million and opted to spend another two years on Drinkwater's loan.
This move is a move that Chelsea are speechless.
Because Drinkwater's contract expires in two years.
What is the difference between you Manchester United playing like this and a direct buyout?
But in the end, Chelsea didn't have too much hypocrisy, they have a big family and don't care.
Anyway, it's someone you don't want, so it's cheaper to go, so let's go.
In the end, Manchester United offered to pay in instalments, and Chelsea agreed to it.
It's really funny.
In the end, Manchester United's No.10 shirt for the new season has not changed hands, and it is still on Drinkwater.
With everything done by the transfer team, it's time to talk about the big thing...... (End of chapter)
