In a famous luxury restaurant in the center of Manchester, Xiao Yu was taken to the door of the box by the waiter, and after knocking on the door and entering, he found that Beckham was not the only one inside.

"Eric Cantona?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised, this is a great star in the history of Manchester United.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao Yu, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Cantona smiled and walked over to say hello.

Xiao Yu looked at Beckham, who opened the door for him, and the latter shrugged his shoulders, indicating that this was an ordinary lunch party, and in addition to Cantona, Roy Keane and Gary Neville, two of Beckham's best friends, were there.

"You Manchester United seem to have started training too, right?" Xiao Yu sat down and asked casually.

'Well, it's already started, but we're in the European Championships, so we're allowed to come back late.' Gary Neville replied with a smile that he was the most honest of the group.

"Hey, Xiao Yu, don't say anything about your Manchester United, your Manchester United, your Red Rebels are promoted to the English League, are you so angry with us?" Keane pretended to be dissatisfied and refuted Xiao Yu.

"Oh, then I'll change it, but your temper seems to be quite irritable today, did you really go to the psychiatric department, did you take medicine today?" Xiao Yu asked Kean jokingly.

The latter sat next to Xiao Yu, and when he heard this, he immediately grabbed his hand heavily, grinning his teeth, as if he was going to tear Xiao Yu apart, "His grandmother's, if I let me know who is making my rumors outside, I will definitely not let him go!" ”

Recently, a piece of news came out of the outside media that Roy Keane was mentally ill and secretly went to see a psychiatrist, which immediately caused an uproar in England, especially in Manchester.

"No, I think it's good, you will abolish him if you don't like it on the court in the future, anyway, you are a psychopath, no one will scold you or anything, but I usually remember to bring medicine when I go out, I'm a little afraid!" Xiao Yu laughed.

Keane suddenly couldn't do anything about him, if you want to talk about eloquence, ten of him may not be able to compare with one Xiao Yu, you know, the former chairman of Manchester United was forced by him to say that he fell, although he still has a stake in Manchester United, but the real power has become Peter Kenyon.

Cantona on the side was obviously a little surprised, he saw that Xiao Yu had a close relationship with Beckham and others, but he didn't know why Beckham invited Xiao Yu in this situation.

But soon, Beckham made it clear to him.

"First of all, I should thank you, Xiao Yu!" David Beckham held up the cup filled with boiled water.

Xiao Yu also lifted it, but he filled it with beer, touched Beckham's cup crisply, and then drank all the wine in the cup, "It's nothing, you can invite me to eat a few more meals when you have time." ”

Seeing Cantona's strange eyes, Beckham smiled, "Xiao Yu is a good friend of Mr. Steve Jobs, the chairman of Apple in the United States, and he is also a shareholder of Apple, and Apple has recently launched an MP3, which is selling very well in the market, and they plan to enter the European market, so they want to ask me to make an advertisement, which is the line that Xiao Yu helped pull." ”

Cantona suddenly understood, but soon he understood what Beckham meant.

At present, the football world does not attach much importance to the management of star image rights, but as Manchester United, the world's most successful business operation, the stars naturally know the important surname of the image right, but that has been taken away by the club, and the stars can only get a small part of it, but for these stars, it is the money that the club makes from them, and there is no reason not to share it with them.

Especially for a popular superstar like David Beckham, the annual advertising revenue is a staggering amount of income, even higher than their salary.

"I have temporarily suspended this cooperation, Xiao Yu, you help me apologize to Mr. Jobs, I really regret it, but I can't accept this contract for the time being." Beckham said apologetically.

Xiao Yu looked at Beckham, then at Cantona, as well as the faces of Keane and Neville, and immediately knew that this meal was not easy, obviously these three were all invited by the club to persuade Beckham.

Just a few days ago, AC Milan offered Beckham a salary of 4 times his current salary, which made Manchester United nervous, coupled with Beckham's unpleasant quarrel with the British media, his son's ** was even published on the front page of the newspaper a few days ago, and even British Prime Minister Tony Blair personally came forward to refute the media's approach.

In this context, David Beckham's determination to leave Manchester United has never been stronger.

And it is clear that his decision to stop working with Apple is a signal that he wants to transfer.

"David, I don't think you should go to Italy, in terms of team strength, AC Milan is not as good as Manchester United, in terms of commercial development, Manchester United is the first in the world, I don't understand why you want to move to Italy?" Cantona was a little excited.

He can be said to have watched Beckham and others grow up, and has a lot of weight in their minds, except for Ferguson, I am afraid that he is the only one who can question Beckham and others like this, but Ferguson obviously will not have this attitude, he will be tougher.

Although Keane is the captain of the team, he didn't say much on this issue, just listened in silence, because he just got a contract from the club half a year ago, with a salary of up to £52,000 a week, which is why Beckham is so angry.

Neville was equally silent, and he wanted to fight for the higher salary he deserved.

I have to say that Peter Kenyon was absolutely right to find Cantona, at least when questioned by him, Beckham did not dare to refute anything.

'Manchester United are very clear right now, you don't mention transfers, you get a brand new contract before Christmas. Cantona is talking about you, obviously not specifically Beckham, but also Neville, and once those two players are done, the likes of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Phil Neville are also done.

"David, Peter Kenyon told me that Manchester United can't give AC Milan the same high salary, the club can only give a maximum of 70,000 pounds a week, if you are still not satisfied with this, the club agrees to your transfer, whoever can pay a transfer fee of 46 million pounds, who can take you, and within 70,000 pounds a week, you are not for sale at the club!"

After speaking, Cantona stood up and sighed, "I really don't want to see your group fall apart for money, I know that the club has something to do with you, and I know that many of the club's practices make you feel cold, but don't forget, you are players trained by Manchester United, you can have today, it is all cultivated by Manchester United!" ”

"Think about it again, David, I'm waiting for your good news!"

After saying that, Cantona confessed to Xiao Yu, and then left first, he was specially asked by Peter Kenyon to persuade Beckham today.

After Cantona left, the atmosphere in the box became a little awkward, Keane couldn't say anything, in fact, he had previously broken the news in an interview with the media, thinking that the salaries of some foreign players in the team, including Stam, were terrifyingly high, while local stars such as Beckham still chose to stay in the face of double or even triple the salaries of some foreign clubs.

As long as a discerning person can see what is going on at once, Cantona also knows it, but he looks at it from his position and does not want Beckham and the others to leave.

Now Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes have also been involved with Spanish and Italian teams, and if Beckham leaves at this time, the hearts of Manchester United's generals will be scattered.

Xiao Yu, who has crossed over, naturally knows what will happen in the future, but he can't guarantee that if history changes and Beckham leaves Manchester United, with the current situation, Manchester United's golden four midfielders will not be separated.

Once all four players are gone, United can indeed get a large transfer fee, but at what cost?

"I have a word that you would like to hear, David?" Xiao Yu suddenly spoke, a little serious.

Beckham looked at Xiao Yu, he had always trusted Xiao Yu, and felt that his views and insights were very unique, so he nodded.

'It's not the time for you to leave, AC Milan isn't the best place for you to be, and as much respect as I have for this big club, I have to say that in terms of personal development, Eric Cantona is right and Manchester United is a better fit for you.

"Last year was the pinnacle of Manchester United and the pinnacle of yours, and I know you're sad that you didn't get the World Footballer of the Year, but isn't that an incentive for you? Do you think you should stay at Manchester United if you want to be the most successful? Or do you want to cross the ocean and go to an unfamiliar environment? ”

Needless to say, everyone knows that it is the former, because the latter also has to take into account the risk of being able to integrate into the team, in fact, the English have rarely been successful in playing abroad, and Beckham's subsequent transfer to Real Madrid can only be considered a commercial success.

It's just that Xiao Yu stands in the position of his friends and the new Manchester United owner, and he doesn't want Beckham to transfer, because this is bound to cause a series of chain reactions, and I am afraid that English football will bring a big shock at that time.

Some people may say that it is good to bring a big shock, a small team like New Manchester United needs a big shock to have a chance to rise, but once the big shock comes, it will inevitably change the history that Xiao Yu knew in his previous life, once his biggest advantage is broken, then why does Xiao Yu lead the new Manchester United to upgrade?

Of course, this selfishness Xiao Yu is deeply hidden in his heart, he used a rational analysis to explain the current environment for Beckham, he does not think Beckham should be transferred, but the negotiations with Manchester United should not be rushed, but should strive for more benefits, such as image rights and other off-field revenue sharing.

A lunch lasted for more than three hours before it dispersed, and several people divided their own things, Xiao Yu didn't know what Beckham was thinking in his heart, but he felt that he had done his best, if this still didn't move Beckham, then Xiao Yu really couldn't help it.

He is the owner of the new Manchester United, and his mind is on the new Manchester United, so he can't pester Beckham all day long and persuade him not to transfer, right?

This kind of thing that benefits others and is not beneficial to himself, Xiao Yu will not do it either, he is not Lei Feng!
