75 Changing History

On 24 July, three days after the warm-up game against Rochdale, the new Manchester United travelled to Stockport, southeast of Manchester, to take on League One side Stockport.

The new Manchester United squad has once again made a number of changes.

Kic's partner Crouch as a forward; Knovick and Darren? Lyons as left and right wing-back; Juninho Jr. and Marginson play in central midfield, with the latter playing more at the back; The backline continues to follow the same configuration from the previous game against Rochdale, from left to right: Evra, Abidal, Garay? Turner and Stanson; The goalkeeper is Almunia.

Although such a configuration seems to be starry from Xiao Yu's vision from the future, but in fact?

At the Edgley Stadium, the new United were conceded three goals in the second half by Stoke Harbor, and it was not until the second half that Lyons assisted Kic's face-saving goal.

In this defeat, the new United have exposed more problems than the previous game against Rochdale, not only defending on the left, but also the organisation in the middle and interceptions in midfield, which will be a big problem for the new United this season.

And Juninho, the new Manchester United's heavy investment, is as sluggish as ever.

Although the new Manchester United struggled to help him solve the problem of eating, and at the same time, Bruce also continued to guide him on the training ground to let him improve, and Juninho's training attitude is definitely commendable, and he is as diligent as ever on the pitch, but his performance is still as bad as ever.

It's just that the outside media has recently been attracted by the dispute between Manchester United and the FA, so even the local newspapers in Manchester have not reported too much on the new Manchester United, which has led to the fact that Juninho, the king player, has not been criticized too much, otherwise, in the style of the English media, he may have to be criticized for nothing.

After returning from Stockport, the team travelled to Wigan on 26 July to take on Vigan side in League Two.

After several consecutive warm-up matches, the cooperation of the new Manchester United's main players seems to be more and more tacit.

First, in the 35th minute of the first half, Kic scored a goal with a header from a cross from Novik; Then it was said that Novik found Wigan with a long-range shot from the edge of the box in the fourth minute of the second half.

Wigan did not show weakness, they once saw the hope of an equalizer in the 24th minute of the second half by combining tenacious to pull a goal, but substitute Crouch came on Olic in the defensive counterattack, using his speed advantage to form a single knife, dribbling past the goalkeeper and pushing the empty goal.

The 3-1 scoreline has brought some happy wins to the new Manchester United, and you must know that after the last defeat to Stoke Port, the players were tortured by Bruce, and now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief with a victory.

The team won, Xiao Yu is also in a good mood, because in his impression, Wigan is not the kind of weak team, they were promoted to the League One in 04, and began to compete in the Premier League in 06, Steve? Bruce has also coached on this team before, and the results are good.

Winning this victory over Wigan, the training intensity of the new Manchester United began to decline, and on July 31, the new Manchester United hosted the visiting League Two powerhouse Preston North End at home, this game both sides played very tenacious, fortunately Paulson, who started in place of Juninho Jr., played well, his double back partnership with Matern made the new Manchester United's defense look very thick, and Distin replaced Garay? Turner's starting performance was equally impressive.

However, despite their excellent defence, Preston were also not a fuel-efficient lamp, and in this 1-1 draw, the new United relied on a goal from Crouch to open the scoring, but it was not long before Preston also relied on a corner opportunity to equalise.

There were plenty of chances for both sides after that, but they never converted into goals.

Although it was only 1-1, it was definitely the hardest and most tenacious game the new United have ever played, with fierce physical collisions, fast-paced attacking and defending, and the ferocious scramble of the Preston players, all of which taught the new United a good lesson.

Although the game was intense, thankfully there were no injuries, allowing the new United to go into the first round of the national league on 7 August with a full squad.

Because it is a national league, the FA does not need to consider whether other teams have the ability to host a match against the new Manchester United as it did in the Northwest Division B last year, so in the first round of the new season, the new Manchester United will sit at the Gig Lane Stadium to face the national league powerhouse Ruston Diamond, which is regarded by the media as the most promising promotion.

The team from Ruston, near Birmingham, have finished fourth in the national league for the past two seasons and played in the play-offs, but were unable to secure promotion.

This year, Ruston Diamonds have brought in a number of high-level players with the aim of making it to the League C.

In the face of such an ambitious team, the new Manchester United seems to be very serious.

In fact, after the schedule was arranged, scouts had already conducted a detailed tracking and investigation of all the opponents in the national league, and the video footage of these teams alone almost filled Bruce's office, and Kassel was busy watching the footage with Bruce every day and studying the opponents.

While Bruce valued the Ruston diamonds, Xiao Yu made good progress off the court.

First of all, Peter? Schmeichel, the 36-year-old goalkeeper has politely declined an offer from Sporting Lisbon to accept a new Manchester United offer to play as goalkeeper and goalkeeper coach at the club, just as Bruce did when he was centre-back and manager.

However, according to Xiao Yu's familiarity with Schmeichel in his previous life, as well as watching his training on the spot, coupled with Bruce and Kassel's evaluation of him, I believe that if he retires, I am afraid it will be a few more years, after all, his current state is quite good.

Schmeichel's arrival changed Almunia from a starter in the warm-up game to a substitute in the league, after all, the former is quite famous, but Almunia readily accepted the offer, believing that he could learn a lot from Schmeichel.

Of course, Almunia will certainly have no shortage of appearances this season, and although it is the fifth tier of the English league, 22 teams play 42 games, but there are also a number of other cup competitions, all of which add up to a lot.

But Schmeichel himself said that his age will only allow him to adapt to one game a week at most, so the rest is Almunia's chance, but whether he can grasp it at that time depends on how much he can learn from Schmeichel.

Getting Schmeichel's transfer made the new Manchester United famous for a while, you know, this team created by Manchester United diehard fans has been a small fire in British and even European football last year, but I didn't expect this summer, it even dug into the corner of Manchester United, which quickly became an interesting story in European football.

Local newspapers in Manchester have also paid considerable attention to the new Manchester United, and some local Manchester television stations have even said they are considering recording or even broadcasting the new Manchester United home games in a slot.

Of course, this is to pay for the broadcast of the new Manchester United, but for the time being they are only in the planning stage.

Unlike those TV stations that were still planning, Xiao Yu's soap opera to buy the District Athletic Stadium was finally coming to an end, and the municipal axe held several parliamentary consultations, and finally came to a result, that is, the acquisition of the new Manchester United was approved, but the purchase amount had to be paid within five years, and the club had to submit a complete plan for the planning and construction of the stadium and the surrounding land.

For such a request, Xiao Yu almost didn't even frown, because the relevant plan had already been deeply engraved in his mind, because in his previous life, this was Manchester City's home stadium, and the magnificent city stadium was built on the ground of the District Athletic Stadium.

The only difference is that Xiao Yu did plan to renovate, but not so quickly, but planned to wait until the team rushed to the Premier League before deciding to renovate, so it would take another 5 years at the earliest.

After taking over the District Athletic Stadium, Xiao Yu will repair the stadium, renovate the stands, and build a first floor of the North Stadium, which will make the capacity of the District Stadium more than 10,000.

However, the name of the District Athletic Stadium is really not very good, and Xiao Yu has also added it to the plan, and he will consider changing the name of this stadium to be closer to the new Manchester United, like the Newton Heath training base.

After sorting out the plan, Xiao Yu, Walsh and Bruce personally went to the municipal axe for a meeting, and then finalized the acquisition on the spot, and Xiao Yu also paid a down payment of 2 million pounds on the spot, and the remaining 6 million will be paid in installments over the remaining 4 years.

However, following the refurbishment and expansion of the District Athletic Stadium, the Municipal Axe and the FA will also carry out a safety assessment of the stadium, which will only allow the new United to put the stadium into use.

It is conservatively estimated that it will not be until the Christmas period at the earliest to be able to play in this completely exclusive home stadium.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yu revised the lease contract signed with the Berry Club, extended the original one-month lease period to half a year, and paid a rent of 50,000 pounds to the Berry Club at one time.

After these things, the dispute between the Premier League clubs led by Manchester United and the FA finally came to a satisfactory result after many negotiations.

When Xiao Yu received this news, in addition to being happy from the bottom of his heart, he was also worried, this should be his biggest move to change the known history, but he didn't know if the next history would develop as he knew it!
