Before Xiao Yu left England, he had called Curtis's parents to reassure them that their son was fine in Manchester, and during the time Xiao Yu left, Curtis's parents had also called many times, asking Curtis to return to London quickly.

But Curtis never prepared to go back, so he spent it.

Until now, more than half a month has passed, and Curtis's father has taken time out of his busy schedule to rush to Manchester.

As a mixed-race child, Curtis's father is an African immigrant, and his mother is British, the former works for a logistics company and is busy, and the latter is a housewife, just like the average British low-income family.

Out of consideration, Xiao Yu lined up this meeting at a Chinese restaurant on the outskirts of Faulkner Street.

The four of them sat down facing each other, Curtis's parents sitting side by side across from each other, their eyes fixed on Curtis the whole time, and the latter was like a child who had done something wrong, with his head down and not daring to look at anyone.

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became very stiff.

"Hehe, I once heard Curtis mention that your family likes to eat Chinese food, and the Chinese food here is very famous, you can try it and see how it is better than in London." Xiao Yu broke the silence with a smile.

Davis retracted his eyes, turned to Xiao Yu, and nodded gratefully: "Thank you very much, Mr. Xiao Yu, he must have caused you a lot of trouble during this period of time, please forgive us for our negligence!" ”

"It's nothing, he likes to play, so he basically doesn't go out, just stays on the training ground."

After Davis listened, he took a deep look at Curtis and sighed, "It's all my fault, I'm usually busy with work, otherwise I should have rushed over to take him back a long time ago." ”

"I don't want to go back!" Curtis suddenly looked up and said stubbornly.

"What are you kidding? If you don't go back, do you plan to stay here forever? ”

"Yes, Curtis, come back with us, you can play football when you go back to London, there are more children in Luton who like to play football, you can play with them." Mrs. Davis also advised.

"No, I'm not going to Luton, I'm going to stay at the new Manchester United!" Curtis is still stubborn.

"New Manchester United is just an amateur club that has just been established, and Luton is a regular professional club, and it doesn't matter how many people want to go in for training......" Davis is also in a hurry, and he is speechless when he is angry, without taking into account Xiao Yu's embarrassed expression, or Mrs. Davis secretly bumped into him a few times before he wakes up.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao Yu, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean that, really!" Davis, who understood, apologized vigorously, and the weather was so hot that he was sweating profusely.

'It's okay, you're right, we're a new club, but it's not an amateur, we've signed a couple of full-time contracts, but it's certainly not as high as Luton in terms of pay.

After hearing this, Davis was even more at a loss, wanting to explain, but he was afraid that the description would get darker and darker, and finally sighed.

"Frankly speaking, Mr. Xiao Yu, I am also a fan of Manchester United, I support your actions 100%, but I am a son of Curtis, they all say that he is very talented in football, it is not easy for a family like ours to live, there is no way to give Curtis anything, fortunately he is also angry, and has been appreciated by the Luton club."

At this, Davis smiled proudly, like all fathers who are proud of their son's accomplishments.

"Although there is no pay as an apprentice in the youth team, Luton are responsible for the costs of study, training and living, which is a great help for families like ours, and Luton is a long-established club, although after being relegated from the Premier League in 92, 96 was relegated to League Two, but as a professional club, Luton, who are determined to return to the Premier League, can provide Curtis with a better development environment."

Davis's words were so remarkable that Xiao Yu couldn't refute them.

In his memory, Luton Town has never returned to the Premier League since their relegation, but has sat on the elevator in League One, which later became the Championship, League Two, League C, and even the national league.

Either way, as an established club, Luton Town must be more credible in English football circles than the new Manchester United.

"You're right, Mr. Davies, I don't deny that for the time being, we are too much inferior to Luton, both in terms of personnel and in terms of club conditions, we are at a disadvantage in all aspects, but what we can give is also what Luton don't have, which is that we can give Curtis more opportunities."

As soon as Xiao Yu's words paused, the excited Curtis had already grabbed it and continued.

"Yes, Dad, you know what? I'm on the pitch at the new Manchester United internal training and do you know who our opponents are? Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs, and Roy Keane, they're coming to train with us every day now, and you can't believe I can play against them. ”

Speaking of this, Curtis looked incredulous, as if he remembered the picture of competing with Giggs and Keane, and he was very fascinated.

'You don't know, I can't believe I can dream that I'll be able to play with them one day, and Roy and Ryan have reminded me a lot, oh, and Steve Bruce, the greatest legendary centre-back in the history of Manchester United, he's my partner now, he's teaching me all day, but I can really learn a lot from them.'

"Dad, it's a different club, I love it here, I like Xiao Yu, even though he's always suspicious and afraid that I'm going to learn badly, I admire Steve, he's so good, he's almost a perfect centre-back, I like everyone here, they're all welcoming, it's not like Luton's cold training camp."

Obviously, Curtis would definitely not have said much before, so when they saw him talk at length like this, Davis and his wife stared at him dumbfounded, and they might even be worried about whether Xiao Yu had given Curtis some [***] medicine.

However, Curtis's talk about several big stars at Manchester United made Davies a little skeptical.

Isn't the new Manchester United a traitor to Manchester United?

"Steve the Bruce has agreed to take over as head coach of our team, Ryan has just come back from vacation and is playing training at our club to get back in shape, Roy is recovering from a serious injury, but they are all very supportive of our club!"

Davis finally understood, but he was still surprised, he didn't expect Xiao Yu to poach Steve Bruce as the head coach, and Keane and Giggs actually supported Xiao Yu like this, which was indeed a big surprise to Davis.

"Mr. Davis, in fact, I think that a player with potential does not necessarily have to go to a professional training camp to be able to become a talent, with a model like Steve Bruce, hands-on teaching, this will help Curtis more, and although our new Manchester United is still only playing in the Northwest Division B, but I am confident that we can be promoted to the national league within five years, and by then, Curtis will only be 18 years old, just in time to get enough training opportunities."

Seeing that Mr. Davis was still a little hesitant, Xiao Yu couldn't help but say more.

"If you don't believe me, I can make a deal with you, after five years, if the new Manchester United can't be promoted to the national league, and there are teams higher than us who are interested in Curtis, we are willing to release him unconditionally, without a penny of transfer fees!"

Xiao Yu has already said this, and Curtis seems to be really determined to stay in Manchester, so Davis and his wife can only accept it helplessly.

"But you don't seem to have an academy!" Davis asked another question.

Xiao Yu also felt a headache about this, the academy is not established when it is established, it takes time, funds, and people, and for the current new Manchester United, why should it attract young players and coaches?

"For the time being, we'll consider having Curtis train with the team, and of course, we'll take care of his age and arrange his training content reasonably, and Bruce is already working on that."

The Davis couple are not familiar with the field of football, they are purely fans who like to watch football, and they don't know these things at all, but since Xiao Yu said that it is okay, and Curtis has no opinion, it should be okay.

However, although it has been decided to let Curtis stay in Manchester, there are still many things to ask and care about, such as what will Curtis's life do, where he will go to school, etc.

Xiao Yu tried his best to explain the club's arrangements for Curtis to the Davis couple in detail, after all, when parents hand over their children to themselves, they must take good care of them and reassure their parents.

Finally, after the Davies had cleared up all their doubts and confirmed that their son would have no problems in Manchester, they began to tell Curtis to train and study hard in Manchester, and strive for what to do in the future......

Xiao Yu sat on the side, listening to it was really moved and helpless, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world, but sometimes, the scope of their concern is indeed too wide, only 13 years old, and they are all concerned about whether they can have a girlfriend.

Since Davis still has to go to work early tomorrow morning, after the four of them have dinner, the couple will rush back to London overnight, and Xiao Yu will take Curtis to send them out of Faulkner Street, and after getting into a taxi, they will turn back to George Street.

"Hey, you promise my dad to be promoted to the national league in five years, okay? Don't brag! Curtis looked at Xiao Yu with a suspicious expression, he always felt that Xiao Yu's guarantee was not very confident, because he had never heard the players mention it in private, and capital was the key to the success of a club.

But Xiao Yu doesn't look like a rich man no matter how you look at it!

"Don't worry, if you say five years, it must be five years, maybe you don't have to, but you, don't worry so much about me, working hard to improve yourself is the key, so that even if our new Manchester United can't be promoted, you will be able to play in big clubs in the future, you know?"

Curtis pouted, trying to say something, but held back

PS: To cultivate a player's loyalty to the club, sometimes you may only need to do something very simple and inconspicuous for them, but through these details, you can win a player's heart!

Today, when I saw the news that Rooney wants to leave Manchester United, I was a little emotional!
