Last season, the new Manchester United performed well in the League C, with the trident led by Kitson, Malouda and Hleb invincible in the League C, and now Kitson has moved to Brighton for £2 million.

Malouda and Hleb were retained by the new Manchester United under the temptation of many clubs, but there was another person who was seduced by the League One team at this time, and that was Pete Crouch!

Crouch came off the bench as Kitson last season but has been performing well, making a total of 27 starts and substitute appearances for the new United in all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing eight assists.

This season, Kitson fell out with the club over salary issues and was sold to Brighton, Crouch thought he had finally survived, but who knew that Xiao Yu brought Drogba to Mourinho.

Although Mourinho has always insisted on deciding the starting XI with attitude, Crouch knows in his heart that the attitude of the big black man is more correct than himself, and the training is more diligent than himself, although the technique is not as fine as himself, but Mourinho likes him very much, and it is almost certain that he will be the main center forward this season.

The team's other striker, Olich, also worked hard in training, although he was considered the team's No. 1 brother, but this did not prevent him from being liked by Mourinho, especially his physical ability has changed a lot compared to before, and it is said that he insists on training even during the holidays, which makes Crouch feel threatened.

Another striker Palacio is the team's most technically outstanding player, Mourinho used him as a surprise soldier last season, in addition to the striker, the left and right wingers can play, very comprehensive, he is not much of a threat to Crouch, because Mourinho is unlikely to use him as the main center, but Crouch still feels awkward.

His surname made him less of a competitive team, he was a bit lazy and he preferred a more relaxed environment, and that's when Portsmouth approached him and the two hit it off.

Portsmouth's first offer for new Manchester United was £1 million and they want to buy Crouch to bolster their attacking arsenal, having narrowly missed relegation from League One last season.

…………

…………

"What do you think?" Xiao Yu handed Portsmouth's transfer offer to Mourinho.

The latter, who had just arrived from training and was on his way to Ghana in two days' time, wanted to take advantage of his stay at Newton Heath's training base to mix the squad together.

"The price is too low!" Mourinho replied stiffly, and then faxed the quote to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing, he felt that Mourinho was quite similar to Ferguson in some way, love and hate, he didn't like Crouch's type of player, he kept him last season, just because the team needed to find a replacement for Kitson, and now it seems that he has found the person he wants.

"Do you need to buy someone?" Xiao Yu asked with concern, the team still has a lot of transfer funds.

Who knew that Mourinho shook his head, "The rest of the money will be according to your previous plan to improve the facilities and conditions of the training base, and at the same time, the city stadium will also need some funds to add the north stand, as long as you find me the right full-back I want, the 23-man squad is enough to cope with a season!" ”

After speaking, Mourinho seemed to be worried that Xiao Yu would not believe it, so he explained with a smile.

"The 23-man squad, minus David Green, there are exactly two players in each position to replace, plus the test data from the laboratory shows that the players are in good physical condition, so I believe that this staffing is the most ideal, of course, if you think there is too much money and want to buy another person, I have no objection, but I don't guarantee that he will get a chance to play, I am very happy with the players in the first team now, they can understand my tactical intentions, and that is enough!"

After Xiao Yu listened, he smiled and nodded, since Mourinho said enough, it must be enough, buy more people, and if you can't play, maybe it will destroy the team's current unity atmosphere.

"Crouch didn't do more than that last season, you should negotiate more with them!" This is the advice Mourinho gave to Xiao Yu before leaving.

"I know without you saying it, Jose!" Xiao Yu sent Mourinho out with a smile and then called Mark David and asked him to negotiate with Portsmouth, preferably to negotiate the price as high as possible.

I just put down the phone, but it rang immediately.

Xiao Yu picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and he felt a little strange in his heart, but he still picked it up.

"Hey, hello, Xiao Yu!"

"Hello, Xiao Yu, I'm Ferguson!" A loud voice came from the other side of the phone.

Xiao Yu is not very familiar with this old man of Manchester United, he often deals with Manchester United stars, but not the Jazz.

"Hello, Sir, I didn't expect you to call me!" Xiao Yu smiled on the surface, but he secretly had a headache in his heart, Ferguson called himself at this time, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing.

Sure enough, Ferguson was quick to say what he meant.

"Xiao Yu, let's just say it, what is the price you put on Curtis Davis?"

Xiao Yu frowned, "Sir, didn't you watch the press conference that day?" A termination fee of 100 million pounds, whoever comes up to this amount will be able to take Curtis. ”

"He's just a rookie who debuted for half a year!" Ferguson reminded.

Xiao Yu suddenly laughed, "But he will be Ferdinand of our club, you look at how high Ferdinand's transfer fee was in November last year, and frankly, Jazz, I never planned to sell him, he is the vice captain of our club!" ”

Just a few days ago, Stam published an autobiography, which is different from the one in Xiao Yu's memory in his previous life, Stam's autobiography revealed the reason why Manchester United would rather give up the FA Cup to go to the Club World Championship in Brazil, and also revealed that the reason why Manchester United suddenly changed their minds later, that is, they reached an agreement with the FA in some aspects.

As soon as this autobiography was revealed, it immediately put Manchester United in the limelight, especially Ferguson, because the autobiography revealed what Ferguson said to the players in the dressing room, so the FA has made it clear that it will investigate the matter, and if it does, Ferguson will face a huge fine.

Like in his previous life, Ferguson moved to sell people, and just as the owner Lazio came to the door, the two sides hit it off, which is a little ahead of history, but there is not much difference.

Why?

Because there are very few good centre-backs available in the transfer market right now!

The media contacted several candidates for Manchester United, Inter Milan's Frenchman Blanco, the disadvantage is that he is 35 years old, but Ferguson has always admired him, but he has always been a goddess with a heart and no dream.

Eindhoven's Hovland, but PSV Eindhoven already has a grudge against Manchester United in the twists and turns of Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer and is reluctant to sell the main central defender to Manchester United; Argentina international Ayala, Valencia made it clear that it is not for sale, unless it pays 35 million pounds in liquidated damages, which is obviously impossible, and Ayala may not adapt to the Premier League, especially when he was worn by Bergkamp in the 98 World Cup, which is very worrying.

Real Madrid's Ivan Campo and Valencia's Manuel Pellegrino are both at the right price, but their ability is not very reassuring.

The biggest name in the list is undoubtedly Parma's Cannavaro, but Parma refuses to let go, and Cannavaro is also chased by many Italian giants, and Manchester United's intervention may not be able to gain anything.

In addition, the media also introduced two suitable star embryos for Manchester United, which cater to Ferguson's tastes, including Curtis Davies of the new Manchester United, and the other is Auxerre's new Blanco, Philippe Mex, the former is famous in England, and the latter is a new star of central defenders who are generally optimistic about the European continent, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan and many other giants covet him.

It was in this situation that Ferguson approached Xiao Yu.

Everyone knows that he should take advantage of this time to ruthlessly slaughter Manchester United, but unfortunately, Xiao Yu is not interested in selling the players under his command, whether it is Curtis or Terry, he doesn't want to sell.

"Okay, Xiao Yu, then let's not talk about Curtis, let's talk about Michael Essien, I am optimistic about this young Ghanaian player, I hope he can transfer to Manchester United, what do you think?" Ferguson was a little disappointed knowing that he couldn't poach Curtis, but quickly shifted his target.

It is said that he has seen Essien's performance at the World Youth Championships, and his evaluation of Essien is New Roy Keane, so he wants to buy Essien to train, in Xiao Yu's previous life, Ferguson played this idea, Essien also went to Manchester United for a trial, but in the end it was unsuccessful, so that after Keane left, Manchester United's middle has always been a hidden danger.

"You wish? Sizz, I think you're mistaken, we're the Red Rebels, not the Red Devils, and my hope is that neither Curtis nor Essien will leave, they'll all stay! Xiao Yu's tone also became a little stiff.

He just can't stand Ferguson's straightforward and wealthy temper, although he respects Ferguson from the bottom of his heart, but now the two sides are talking about the interests of their respective clubs, so there is no need to discuss.

"Really?" Ferguson asked suspiciously, "Do you think your team can keep them?" ”

"Of course!" Xiao Yu replied very confidently, but in fact, he still felt a little abrupt in his heart, because after Essien went to participate in the World Youth Championships, the team specially gave him a few days off, and he has not returned to the team until now.

"Well, since you're so insistent, I don't think we have much more to say!" With that, Ferguson hung up the phone.

Xiao Yu looked at the mobile phone screen and gradually dimmed, but there was always an ominous premonition in his heart, he always felt as if something was about to happen that he didn't know, so he quickly asked people to find the phone number of Essin's mother Abba and made a phone call, and after asking, Abba said that Esin went on vacation and had not come back yet.

When Xiao Yu heard this, his heart temporarily relaxed a lot, but the ominous premonition that pressed on his heart never dissipated
