To be exact, there should be several.

"Rooney, do you still want to compete for a position with the Chinese Dong?" The Times sarcastically ridiculed Rooney, "If you are obsessed with nightclubs and prostitutes, the future of England will be lost to the Chinese, don't think that you have found your place on the wing, you can rest easy, please don't forget your mission!" But in your current state, how do you compete with Chinese Dong? ”

"The Times" told the ruthless truth, with Rooney's recent goal rate and form, he is not qualified to compete for a position with Dong Fangzhuo at all, and even Vanney, who has regained his form, cannot shake Dong Fangzhuo's position, what can he shake?

"Although he already has a starting spot and Ferguson still loves him, it is only Ferguson's second choice for him. If Rooney had thought about it a little, he would have understood that his future at Manchester United was not as good as he thought. If he continues to play like this, he will gradually become a winger or full-back, but is he really better than Cristiano Ronaldo and Robben in this role? ”

Although the Times article seems to be more objective and hateful, it is also suspected of provoking the contradictions in Manchester United's dressing room. Wayne Rooney was originally designated by Alex Ferguson as Ruud van Nistelrooy's successor, becoming United's first choice in attack for the next decade. But now Rooney has been placed in the position of left winger to play for Dong Fangzhuo, and no one is happy to be replaced.

The dignified England striker was actually squeezed to the side by Dong Fangzhuo......

This news Ferguson is still tolerable, but the next news is a bit of a challenge to Ferguson's psychology.

After the match against Newcastle, The Sun did not report on the game, but instead posted a photo.

In the photo, Dong Fangzhuo appeared in an Italian restaurant in Manchester, and next to him sat Manchester City player Sun Jihai and Manchester City chairman.

It looks like the photo is very informative, mainly because of the presence of the Manchester City chairman. Eating with Sun Jihai is nothing, but what about eating with Manchester City chairman David Bernstein?

This photo was not taken after the game, the time and place are not right, it must have been a previous day.

But after the photo came out, the report was reprinted in various media news.

The Sun put it bluntly: "This was taken last weekend after the return of Chinese Dong from the East, it seems that Manchester City owner Bernstein is quite interested in Chinese Dong, Bernstein has had a meal with Dong through Sun's relationship, they are discussing the possibility of a transfer at the end of the season, the 20-year-old Chinese striker has been quite eye-catching this season, Bernstein is keen to poach him to Manchester City." ”

In order to get the Chinese Dong and further develop the Chinese commercial market, Bernstein does not mind offering Dong a weekly salary of up to 100,000 pounds, and promises him the main position in the Manchester City team, you know, the current weekly salary of the Chinese Dong in Manchester United is only 20,000 pounds. It looks like next season, China Dong will return to Old Trafford in the blue shirt......"

"Shit!"

Ferguson threw away the newspaper in his hand, his face exploding with anger.

"It's definitely a plot by the Londoners, nothing more than trying to distract the players from Manchester United!"

Ferguson muttered.

"But how did this kid come running to dinner with Bernstein?"

He wants a raise? But if you just talk to me about a salary increase, why should you react through the hands of the media? But the club itself is exploring the possibility of giving Dong Fangzhuo a salary increase......

Because Dong Fangzhuo's recent performance has become more and more amazing, Ferguson has indeed begun to start the contract renewal and salary increase plan with Dong Fangzhuo, 20,000 weekly salary is indeed too little, for the main striker of Manchester United, Dong Fangzhuo is not too much to get 100,000 pounds, Ferguson just wants to talk to Dong Fangzhuo after playing all the games this season. I didn't expect that at this critical time, the media jumped out to report first.

Whether the news is true or not, Manchester United are already in a rather passive position. Originally, according to Ferguson's idea, he decided to raise Dong Fangzhuo's weekly salary to a position similar to that of Rooney.

Rooney's current weekly salary is about 60,000 pounds, so judging from Dong Fangzhuo's current performance, Dong Fangzhuo can definitely get such a weekly salary, and it should be a little higher than Rooney, because his status is different.

Even Ronaldo's weekly salary should be raised.

It's just that as soon as the media reported that Manchester City directly tempted Dong Fangzhuo with a weekly salary of 100,000......

£100,000 is a very good weekly salary in 2005.

Didn't Rio Ferdinand sign a new contract with Manchester United recently? His weekly salary rose from £100,000 to £120,000.

What makes Ferguson even more frustrating is that United are squeezing the wage bill of players this season. Manchester United have already spent 46.1 per cent of all on player wages this season. If Alex Ferguson were to give every important player a salary increase, then Manchester United's wage bill would really be a big increase......

There is also a question, does Dong Fangzhuo really want to go to Manchester City?

Ferguson is really not clear.

Today's young people are not as loyal as they used to be, and as long as the team gives them a lot of money and a future, they will throw themselves into their arms. Didn't Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas be seduced by Arsene Wenger like this? Even Pique in the Manchester United team almost threw an olive branch like this.

Isn't it normal to poach Dong Fangzhuo?

Ferguson thought of the worst side of the worst.

No matter what, it is impossible for Dong Fangzhuo to leave, and if Dong Fangzhuo is allowed to leave, it means that he will not sell Fanny himself.

Dong Fangzhuo is the future of Manchester United, along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney. How could it be successfully robbed by Manchester City, just kidding!

He felt that it was time to talk to Dong Fangzhuo, and he had to call his agent......

In fact, after the news came out in the morning, the agent Lin Xu called Dong Fangzhuo and told him not to say anything to the media.

This is a common trick used by agents, always using the media to make the club feel the pressure, and finally succeed in giving the player a raise......

Lin Xu also wants to do this now.

But Lin Xu thought too much, and things were not as complicated as he imagined.

When he arrived in England, Ferguson immediately made an appointment with him and Dong Fangzhuo, and on the office desk, a contract had been set up early.

Ferguson showed great sincerity, and the amount on the contract was empty......
