This year is 2020, and Xia Xing's contract expires in two years.

Xia Xing is not in a hurry, but Manchester United is in a hurry.

The current Manchester United is okay with no one, but it just can't do without Xia Xing.

On the night after the Europa League final, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer approached Xia Xing to discuss a contract extension.

But Xia Xing did not express his position.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was not easy to chase and simply let the club come forward to negotiate again.

The club directly approached Mendes, Xia Xing's agent, and politely negotiated the renewal of the player's contract.

Mendes' answer is very Chinese.

"Look."

This sentence of "look" made Manchester United Club a little confused.

Do you want to renew the contract?

In the end, it was Solskjaer who found Xia Xing privately and asked about the renewal of his contract again.

And Xia Xing's answer is also very certain.

He made several requests.

'First, Pogba has to go.

"I still say the same thing, if he doesn't leave, I'll leave!

'Second, I want to see the ambition of the team.

"Reinforcements have to be worthy of the team's goals!

"Thirdly, I want the team to have a plan to upgrade the training facilities.

"Our training environment and equipment are too old!"

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's three requests were conveyed to the management word for word.

In the boardroom, when several executives in management heard these words, their brows furrowed.

None of these three questions they liked.

First brother question, Pogba has to go?

Even if you Xia Xing is at the super giant level, you can't always provoke the management, right?

This problem of player management, you always blame, it's too much, right?

Last summer, when Xia Xing proposed a two-way choice, Manchester United's management was already a little dissatisfied.

But due to the affection and Xia Xing's strength, they finally compromised.

Now that Xia Xing has raised this issue again, the club is naturally very unhappy.

The second question is, do you want to increase the intensity of reinforcements?

Jokes, are we weak in strength? It's not small at all!

And we're all a bit bloated in the team, and we all have to go out on loan with some young guys.

Now the strength of our team, which is the strength of the original six champions, does not need to continue to strengthen at all.

50 million is enough.

The third question, upgrading the training facilities?

Joke, you're just a player, do you know how much it costs to upgrade?

At least a few million.

Now I can make do with it, so I insist on it.

None of the three problems that the club's management intends to solve.

However, they still made a good gesture.

The manager of the sports department visited Xia Xing in person, with a smile on his face.

"I will personally explain the three questions you raised to you in person today.

'The first is the problem of Pogba.

"Now that Pogba is injured again, we can't sell him at all?

"Even if you hate him, the club wants to sell him, at least until he recovers.

"At least you have to sell it for a good price, you say.

"The second is the transfer fee of the team, which I think is fine.

'I've asked the transfer department to find Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and get the list of transfer intentions.

"We are also in contact with the other party's agent, if appropriate.

'There will be an additional transfer fee, I assure you.

"The third is to upgrade the training facilities, which is a big project and we need some time.

"Especially now that the global economic downturn is severe, our club has a great impact.

"But rest assured, we have already started to draft the upgrade plan and prepare to implement the upgrade plan in several phases.

"We're going to pick things up.

"This is the answer to the three questions you asked,

"What do you think?"

Looking at the smirk of the sports manager opposite, Xia Xing's face was expressionless.

Hehe.

You think I'm foolish, don't you?

Does this kind of prevarication make sense?

Pogba's injury problem is really a problem and I put up with it.

But the question of recruitment, this is completely a cliché.

What is "if it is appropriate", can it be appropriate for you to pick the door and do it?

Now Xia Xing can see that the club does not have that much trust in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at all.

Look at the transfer fee given to the manager before, and then look at the present, it's not at all a level.

It seems that Manchester United still do not fully regard Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the future of the team.

According to Mendes, Manchester United are even privately vetting a new manager.

A Europa League winner, a Premier League title, simply can't satisfy the ambitions of Manchester United's management.

Even if this ambition is not proportional to the club's investment.

On the third question, it is not a cliché, but an empty word.

Although Xia Xing stayed at Manchester United for a short time, he did not train with the first team too deeply.

The poor training conditions of the reserves are also understandable.

However, after returning from Leicester City, he found that the training conditions in United's first-team squad were not much better.

It's not even as good as Leicester City.

At least Leicester City Club has cooperated with the University of Leicester to build a lot of high-tech training facilities, as well as various massage equipment and rehabilitation treatment equipment, which are very good.

Xia Xing Company has some business cooperation with many clubs, and he has also visited many wealthy clubs.

As a superstar, the big club is naturally willing to show the best parts of the team to Xia Xing.

After all, football is round, and everything happens. If you can't play in your own team one day, maybe it comes from an attraction and goodwill.

Xia Xing visited Real Madrid's training base, and he was simply amazed.

The luxury of Real Madrid's training rooms is simply stunning. They can even guarantee that each player can do one-on-one individual training and rehabilitation, which is great.

When it comes to rehabilitation, AC Milan's medical laboratory is even more respectable. There is even the best medical team in international football, and the test reports and rehabilitation recommendations issued by them are absolutely ceiling-level.

As for high technology, it must be said that Bayern's tactical training room. They really have a system similar to FIFA games, which analyzes competitor footage in great detail and helps players decipher the habits and characteristics of each opponent, which is very helpful.

When it comes to youth training, Barcelona is at the top level in the world. La Masia's academy is a football festival for countless teenagers. There, in addition to the cultivation of football skills and knowledge, there are also a lot of educational enhancement contents such as psychological education and personality improvement. The professional room layout, equipment use and coach configuration have benefited the teenagers a lot. As long as you have been in La Masia, you will definitely gain a lot.

Manchester United's training base is in tatters, and it is not at all the level that a giant should have.

After listening to the explanation of the club's sports manager, Xia Xing didn't say anything more.

The topic of contract renewal will not be discussed for the time being.

Renew? Let's see...... (End of chapter)
