I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

On June 26th, when the European Cup was still in full swing, Ye Su ended his vacation, left his hometown, and embarked on a journey back to Manchester.

Because of this summer's European Cup, the new season of the Premier League will be later than usual, and the battle will not officially start until mid-August. However, as the head coach, Ye Su doesn't have that much rest time.

In fact, this summer, he can have a full three weeks of vacation, which is already very luxurious. That is to say, now he has controlled many things of Manchester United, otherwise he would not be able to rest for such a long time.

It's like the managers of many other clubs in the Premier League who returned to their posts as early as a week or two ago and began to worry about transfers.

Manchester United's current lineup is very strong and stable. In one or two seasons, Ye Su has no plans to purge players on a large scale, and naturally he will not introduce large-scale players. And because of Manchester United's excellent record and the team's cohesiveness towards the players, very few people have plans to transfer and leave.

In Ye Su's plan, Manchester United has almost no signing plans this summer.

Carrick finally decided to hang up his boots. After reaching the peak of his career, he retired quickly and took over Giggs' assistant position to concentrate on learning coaching skills.

Schweinsteiger also decided to leave Manchester United to go to the American major leagues for gold. He didn't get many opportunities to play in Manchester United last season, which made him know that he was not in Ye Su's team building plan, so he took advantage of it. Manchester United won an unprecedented opportunity to win the quadruple crown, signing a major league team at a high price.

………………

After the two left, there were two vacancies in Manchester United's first team, but Ye Su did not plan to spend a lot of money to buy people, but planned to use the two young players of the youth team, Scott McTominay, and last season. Mbappe, who was bought from Monaco and left in the youth team, was included in the first team squad for the new season.

Last season, Manchester United not only achieved unprecedented first-team results and won an unprecedented quadruple crown, the youth team's performance also achieved great success. The Manchester United U18 team with Mbappe and McTominay as the core won the FA Youth Cup again after 2011.

In this event, in addition to Mbappe's brilliant performance, scoring 18 goals in 6 games, winning the Golden Boot and taking the best player at the same time, McTominay also performed very well. He showed strong control in the midfield, very general style.

However, in the new season, although Ye Su included them in the first team squad, it is difficult for them to get much playing time unless there are special circumstances.

And Manchester United's real signings this summer,

There is only one person, and that is the free signing of the Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovic!

The outside world understands that Manchester United's signing is that Ye Su wants to strengthen the lineup. After all, Da Fengxian is already a senior veteran who is about to turn 35 years old, and his career has entered the twilight years.

According to common sense, it is difficult to expect much performance from players of such an age.

But people don't know that Ibrahimovic, an old thing, can't be treated with common sense at all. The older he gets, the more monster he gets. As a time traveler, Ye Su knew very well that at the age of 39, he could still become a figure in the thighs of the Serie A giants AC Milan. And during the two years he joined Manchester United, he was also a well-deserved thigh figure for Manchester United.

………………

In the new season, Ye Su made some adjustments to Manchester United's formation. It is mainly aimed at the two core figures of Manchester United, captain Rooney and midfielder De Bruyne.

According to Ye Suxin's plan, Rooney will be more fixed at the right winger position.

Although Rooney has performed exceptionally in the past two seasons after Ye Su used the card of the old tree and new shoots on him, both Ye Su and Rooney himself found that Rooney's dominance in the penalty area has declined a lot. On the one hand, this is due to the degradation of Rooney's physical condition, and on the other hand, it is his height limit. After all, he is only less than 1.8 meters tall. In the restricted area where there are many tall people, such a height has no advantage. When he was young, he could still use his impact to threaten the opponent's defense, but now he can't do it when he is older.

After the Champions League final, Ye Su and Rooney talked about this matter. Rooney himself was not so resistant to not playing as a center forward, and said that he would accept Ye Su's arrangement and let him play in any position.

It was after Rooney made such a statement that Ye Su decided to introduce Ibrahimovic, who became a free agent after his contract in Paris expired.

Ibrahimovic was very happy to join a team with great achievements like Manchester United and to play under the command of a newly promoted world-class coach like Ye Su, and agreed without hesitation.

And after knowing that Ye Su will let him play the center forward at Manchester United in the new season, the Swedish veteran is even more happy.

As soon as Ye Su sent Song Feifei back to Beijing, and then transferred to Manchester, he met with Ibrahimovic who had already arrived in Manchester, and confirmed the contract again.

On the evening of June 30, 2016, Beijing time, at noon local time in the UK, Manchester United's official website and Ibrahimovic's personal social media simultaneously announced the news of Ibrahimovic's signing with Manchester United.

According to Manchester United's practice of signing with veterans over 30 years old, Manchester United signed a "1+1" contract with Ibrahimovic, that is, a formal contract for one year, with a one-year priority renewal clause.

According to British media reports, Ibrahimovic's weekly salary at Manchester United is as high as 220,000 pounds, which is the highest salary in Manchester United, second only to captain Wayne Rooney!

………………

After Ibrahimovic joined, although the international transfer market has not yet officially opened, Manchester United's signing plan for this summer has been completed, and Manchester United's own transfer market has actually been closed.

After Ibrahimovic arrived in Manchester, his agent Mino Raiola recommended to Manchester United another of his generals, the French international Paul Pogba who was born in the Manchester United youth academy.

The Frenchman, who once won the Golden Boy Award in 2013, has grown into the number one star in Serie A under Allegri in the past two years.

There is no doubt that Pogba's talent is different, and in the French European Cup that is in full swing, as the core of the host's midfield, Pogba also performed very well, leading the team to advance to the top 16 as the number one in the group. Then they defeated Ireland in the quarterfinals and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Ye Su also knew that Pogba would still be the core of the team and advance to the final with the French team, but it was a pity that he lost at the feet of Portugal and failed to win the championship.

However, for a problematic player like Pogba, or a thorn, Ye Su has no plans to buy him.

On the one hand, it is because there are so many strong midfielders in the current Manchester United formation, there is no need to sign in, and on the other hand, it is because of Pogba's bad memories in Ye Su's mind.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, Pogba, who is only 23 years old as the top player in Serie A, is too expensive. If I remember correctly, this kid's joining Manchester United represents the entry of the international football transfer market into the billion-euro era, and he can be regarded as a representative figure.

After Manchester United won the Champions League, the stock price skyrocketed, and the team's operating conditions are also very good, but they are not short of money. But Ye Su is not a person who likes to be extravagant. Of course, he will never be stingy when it is time to spend money, but spending hundreds of millions of euros to sign a player is dispensable, and may even cause huge troubles for the team. Pogba, Ye Su thought it was unnecessary.

There was only one other reason why he couldn't say it out loud, and that was that Ye Su didn't like Raiola very much and didn't want to deal with him. Now it is because of Ibrahimovic that Ye Su has to make false claims with him.

Originally, Ibrahimovic can be considered a thorny player, but this guy's thorny head is different from Pogba. He is very assertive and has clear plans for his career and life.

In Ye Su's view, Pogba is the kind of head-spinning player with some brain damage. He once called him and Italian striker Balotelli the two bus gods, which shows Ye Su's true impression of Pogba.

………………

Raiola failed to sell Pogba to Manchester United, but turned around and went to Manchester City, the rival city next door to Manchester United, to sell Pogba to Guardiola.

After Guardiola came to Manchester this summer, he discovered with some sadness that last season's top four teams in the Champions League could only play in the Europa League this season.

Guardiola was very dissatisfied with this, but the matter has become a foregone conclusion, and he has nothing to do.

Then, Guardiola decided to rebuild the team on a large scale.

Over the years, Manchester City has been waving checks to buy and buy across Europe and even the world. The strength of the team lineup is unquestionable. After all, it has won the Premier League championship. It was also an important championship opponent of Manchester United in the first two seasons.

However, eight years have passed since the oil tycoons in the Middle East took over Manchester City. The players that Manchester City introduced at the beginning have now passed their prime years and entered the twilight of their careers.

For example, Yaya Toure, the former Manchester City thigh, was once an important member of Guardiola's creation of the universe team, but now the Ivorian is a 33-year-old veteran, and he is quite old.

Another example is the core midfielder of Manchester City, the Spaniard David Silva, who is now a veteran who is also over 30 years old.

Others such as Manchester City's defensive core and captain Kompany, defensive generals Fernandinho, Zabaleta and others are also over the age of 28, and even the striker Aguero is already 28.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed time for Manchester City to upgrade.

When De Bruyne was signed to Manchester United by Yesu, Manchester City failed to introduce De Bruyne. Although there are many excellent midfielders in world football, there are not many who can fall into the eyes of Guardiola, and Pogba is one of them. So for Raiola's recommendation, Guardiola is still quite moved.
