"Manchester United, who returned to Manchester yesterday, were warmly welcomed by the fans to celebrate the team's league title, however, the biggest news of the day was not Manchester United's victory, World Footballer of the Year Jonker bowed to Ferguson on the sidelines after scoring his second goal of the game in the game, which raised suspicions that it was Manchester United's no.25 farewell, and in the post-match interview, Jonk admitted this, a week later, Manchester United and Chelsea FA Cup final, It will likely be the last game for Jonker to wear United's number 25 shirt.
Manchester United won the title, but Ferguson was not in a good mood at the post-match press conference, where he refused to answer any questions about the whereabouts of Jonker's transfer, and according to a player in the United squad, Jonk had already hugged the players in the dressing room before the game against Hull City......
'Now, the FA Cup final in a week's time is no longer the focus of attention, and the big significance for United fans is that it could be the final performance of the most talented goalscorer in the club's history in a United shirt, while for the rest of the team, from now on, the battle for Jonker is officially underway.

As it was said on TV, in the following days, the big clubs immediately made offers to Manchester United as if they had been negotiated. If it is said that the previous major giants' purchases of Jonk were only carried out in private. Well, with Jonk publicly stating that he wants to transfer. This is already on the bright side.
The media is almost going crazy, and now the slightest news about the transfer of world top scorer Jonk will make the front page. The whole world of international football is running crazy because of Jonck's 'transfer'.
Sky TV even launched a show 'Where the world's most terrifying nuclear weapons are coming', tracking Jonker's transfer rumours 24 hours a day: "Inter Milan manager Rafael Benitez has admitted that the Nerazzurri have made an offer to Manchester United. However, the exact numbers are kept secret. Some experts speculate that Inter Milan's offer should be around £80 million...... However, according to the newspaper "Milan Sport", Moratti does not have a lot of money on hand at the moment, but in order to be able to get Jonker, Inter Milan is brewing Ibrahimovic to get Jonk in the form of cash ......"
Zinedine Zinedine Zidane, adviser to the president of Real Madrid and technical director of the team. Arriving in London yesterday, some media captured him and David Beckham having dinner at the hotel.
After the meal, Beckham took out his mobile phone and made a call, and then Zidane got into Beckham's car, and the two drove away, at the same time, according to the observation of reporters waiting at Jonker's residence, almost at the time Beckham called, Jonk stood on the balcony to answer the call...... Quite possibly. Real Madrid hope to get in touch with Jonker through the relationship between Zinedine Zidane and Beckham, hoping that Beckham can influence Jonker's choice as a lobbyist. ”
Chelsea CEO Peter. Speaking to reporters, Kenyon said Chelsea would not pass up the chance to acquire the best star on the planet. He admits that Chelsea have made an offer, despite the fact that Peter. Kenyon refused to provide the amount of the offer, but we were told the details of the £90 million offer - Anelka + £75 million! ”
AC Milan coach Leonardo, who has already been announced, expressed his appreciation for Jonker. He believes that Jonk is the star that AC Milan have been looking for for more than ten years to be a suitable successor to Basten, and Basten is modest. Jonk wasn't anyone's successor, he was Jonker. However, the former Milan superstar also said that he hoped that San Siro could welcome Jonker's kingship, and now, the only problem is Berlusconi, the Milan boss has said that he will not intervene in Jonk's transfer, the reason is that Jonk is too expensive for Milan to afford, however, what will happen in the future, who knows? ”
"Manchester City FC announced in a high-profile manner that their determination to win for Jonker is not a problem for Manchester City owner Mansour Sheikh as long as it can be solved with money, it is reported that Manchester United has received a third offer from Manchester City FC, and their offer has also increased from £80 million to £85 million + Robinho's way, considering that Robinho just transferred to Manchester City for £35 million last summer, Even if Robinho's value has shrunk this season, now, Manchester City's offer has reached a sky-high price of 110 million pounds! ”
“…… Pep Guardiola must not be able to forget the scene when his team lost to Manchester United in the Champions League final last season, that game, not that Barcelona's table xiàn is bad, but that Jonker's table xiàn is too good, this time, it is possible to get Jonker, Guardiola did not hesitate, the news from Barcelona is that Guardiola has made a request to President Laporta, that is, to bring Jonk to Camp Nou at any cost, Guardiola's most Labordeaux original words are 'The worst situation is also, Real Madrid can't get Jonker! ”
As a result of these news, the whole European football world is now earthquaked because of Jonker's transfer, and on major European fan forums, fans of major giants have started wars on the Internet, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona such as century-old rivals, as well as between Inter Milan and AC Milan, between Arsenal and Chelsea, fans are expressing various opinions to justify the possibility of Jonk joining the team, and began to have Jonk's offensive line and ravage the opponent in the duel with the sworn enemy.
Unlike previous cases that have always been dismissed as 'soap opera rumours', no one will doubt the authenticity of Jonker's transfer this time, as Jonk has already admitted to leaving Manchester United.
For the rest of Europe's biggest clubs, Joan Kerk is the most beautiful diamond in football today, and they are trying to bring it to their home stadium in every possible way.
For Manchester United fans, though. It was simply an unimaginable disaster, before that. No one thought Jonker was going to leave Manchester United, in the eyes of everyone. Jonk is already part of the Manchester United team, he is the history of Manchester United, and he is and will be, and he is more likely to be the greatest captain and banner of Manchester United ever, but suddenly one day, this man said that he was leaving Manchester United, and the flag was leaving, and you can imagine that this is for Manchester United fans. What a panic and repercussions.
Some fans began to denounce Jonker as a traitor, angrily denouncing his thoughts and actions to leave Manchester United, according to the report of The Sun, some radical Manchester United fans planned to raise a banner against Jonker at the new Wembley Stadium on the pitch of the FA Cup final, and even burn Manchester United's No.10 shirt, you can imagine how angry the fans were about this.
Reproach to the fans. Jonker has not responded, he has not defended himself, and Jonk does not want to go to war with Manchester United fans, who he loves. He also knew that it was because of a misunderstanding that some fans would be so excited, and in fact. These fans were Jonker's most loyal fans before!
Ahead of the FA Cup final, the Guardian ran a commentary. The title is "Who Moved Your Jonker?" From the perspective of a non-pro-Manchester United commentator, the transfer of Jonker -
“…… Alex Ferguson has not had much time to do at Manchester United. The old Scottish man is 70 years old, how long can he still sit in the United manager's position? Although he postponed his retirement several times, after all, he is old, and now his energy is not as good as before, and his physical condition has plummeted. One year, two years, or three years? Well, three years at most, the old man is leaving, his influence in this club is too great, he is the pillar of Manchester United, it is difficult for anyone to take over this team to reproduce his original glory, of course, this is not absolute, if there is a pillar in the Manchester United team can stand up, then, a qiē can still be maintained, in Mr. Ferguson's view, Jonk is this person, he is the core and banner of the team, as long as Jonk is there, the team revolves around Jonk as the core, the glory of the Manchester United team can continue, And Jonker also looks like there is really no reason to leave Manchester United, he is the core here, he is the leader, the fans regard him as a king, his teammates trust him, he has no reason to leave, but, the fact is, Jonk chose to leave, the most unlikely thing happened, happened, what is the reason? …… If you know that the Glazer family wanted to sell Jonk when Jonk was injured, you won't fail to understand how bitter and helpless this young man's decision to flee Manchester United was...... He's the flag of Manchester United, he's worth at least £100 million or more, and sadly, it's the value he brings with his exorbitant value that is why Jonker has to leave United......"
After this comment came out, it was also reprinted by various media, and for a while, some excited Manchester United fans also began to think calmly about this matter, although they still have resentment about Jonker's transfer and departure, but at least the hatred has faded a lot...... The fans are not irrational, and they also understand that Jonker is helpless and involuntary in this transfer matter...... Of course, it was Jonker who finally decided to leave and transfer, but, in all fairness, it is unlikely that anyone would want to stay in such a situation......
30 May 2009, New Wembley Stadium, Manchester United vs Chelsea FA Cup final.
In the 31st minute, Jonker received a pass from Nani, dribbled past Branislav Ivanovic and scored the ball with a volley.
1:0!
After the goal, Jonk rushed to the stands where the Manchester United fans were, and in front of tens of thousands of Manchester United fans, he lifted his shirt and revealed the words inside, "Scoring for you is the happiest time I have had in the past four years!" I love you! ”
In the stands of Manchester United fans, there was a silence at first, and then a huge cheer, although the reporters in the press box could also hear it, this applause, mixed with some boos, it was the radical Manchester United fans, they did not forgive Jonker, but, anyway, to be able to receive this applause and cheers, it also shows that most fans still understand Jonk.
The camera zoomed into the stands, where some fans held banners thanking Jonk before bidding him farewell.
In addition, there were more banners in the stands rebuking the team's American owners, and the fans angrily denounced that it was the insatiable and impersonal greed of the Glazer family that forced their Jonk away!
In the 71st minute of the game, Jonker was tripped by John Terry in the penalty area, and the referee awarded a penalty.
Cristiano Ronaldo took the initiative to concede the penalty to Jonker. Jonk did not accept it, he said to Cristiano Ronaldo. "It's better for you to come. After that, it's up to you! ”
But. Cristiano Ronaldo's spot-kick was saved by Petr Cech and, just as the Chelsea fans cheered, a red shadow appeared in front of goal like lightning, shoveling the ball into the net, and the camera zoomed in to see the man running, the number 10 on his back puffing up in the night wind.
2:0! Jonk scored twice to seal the win for Manchester United.
Jonk rushed to the sideline again, half-kneeling at the corner flag. Pulling the jersey, roaring, with tears in the corners of his eyes!
At this moment, even the small group of Manchester United fans who had been booing Jonker stopped boosing, and more applause rang out, and the applause became more and more enthusiastic, and finally converged into a huge sound wave.
With 83 minutes to play, the score was still 2-0 Chelsea and the 2008-2009 FA Cup title was less than ten minutes away.
Ferguson after the start of the second half. He had been standing on the sidelines, and he was going to stand there and enjoy the final performance of his proudest disciple in a Manchester United shirt. Jonk's transfer hit the old Scottish man hard, and the old man, who had planned to retire in three years, felt that he did not seem to have the energy to continue to support him for another three years. Ferguson also knew that Jonk was going to move and couldn't blame Jonker for anything. This is where the old man is helpless, he thought he had found a leader for Manchester United for the next 10 years. He can also retire with peace of mind, in the last season, the old man has threatened to resign, so that the Glazer family temporarily gave up, and kept Jonk for a year, and now, he can't keep it anymore.
With 86 minutes played, Manchester United's victory was sealed and the FA Cup was in hand.
Assistant coach McPheran is reminding Ferguson that it is time to replace Jonker and let him accept the respect of the Manchester United fans at the new Wembley Stadium alone, after all, Jonk has brought so much championship glory to Manchester United in these two seasons, even if he leaves, Jonk deserves these applause!!
Ferguson didn't seem to hear the assistant coach's reminder, didn't he? The old man may have longed for time to slow down, to see Jonker wear the red No. 25 jersey forever.
Finally, Ferguson let out a long sigh and turned his head to tell Owen on the bench to get up and warm up.
The camera also captured the movement on the bench of Manchester United, and everyone was excited, is Jonker going to be replaced? Is this his swan song for Manchester United?
In the 88th minute of the game, the moment that countless Manchester United fans will never forget.
The fourth official held up a substitution sign on the sidelines: No. 20 Michael. Owen on, No. 25 Junk down!
At this moment, there was only one voice and only one action in the entire new Wembley Stadium, and even the Chelsea fans stood up and applauded, everyone stood up, they were bidding farewell to the greatest goalscorer in the history of Manchester United, and for Chelsea fans, they also had to pay tribute to Jonker, of course, Chelsea fans also wanted to let Jonk see how much they liked him, after all, now Jonk's transfer destination is undecided, and Chelsea are also trying to get Jonk to join.
Jonker looked up at the sign in the fourth official's hand, and he knew he had been replaced, and then he looked around the stadium stands, looking at the United fans in the stands, and the growing applause in his ears.
Is it a farewell?
In this game, Giggs did not play, and the captain's armband of Manchester United was worn on Joonker's arm, which will also be the last time he will wear the captain's armband of Manchester United.
Jonk patted Vidic on the shoulder, who gave him an eager hug.
Jonk then hugged Scholes, Nani, O'Shea, and Evra.
The Chelsea players did not come up to protest against Manchester United's delay, because everyone knew that there was time left, it was impossible to score two goals in a row, since Chelsea did not protest, the referee just watched from the sidelines, and did not stop the players from interrupting the game, he knew that if he urged Jonker to leave the field quickly and disturb his farewell to his teammates, he would definitely provoke public anger and become the target of media criticism.
Jonk opened his arms to hug Rooney.
"Jonker-" Rooney wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything, his lips squirmed, the little fat man suddenly burst into emotion, he threw himself into Jonker's arms, "You go, where can I find such a good partner, Colleen is not worried that I will go out at night alone." Rooney even figured out the reason why Colleen asked Jonker to help watch her, and wanted to keep Jonk in the end.
Jonk smiled bitterly, this little fat man. Then he saw Rooney crying profusely, and Jonker felt very uncomfortable, how could he say that he was forced by his boss to leave? Jonk didn't say these words, Rooney also knew, the problem is, he was leaving, this is a fact, thinking of his two-year partner with this little fat man, Jonk felt very uncomfortable, he patted Rooney's shoulder, "We are still teammates in the England team, don't cry, don't cry......" Saying that, Jonk himself choked up.
The others were stunned when they saw Jonker and Rooney crying, but no one said anything, and they didn't think that they were not manly when they cried, they were moved, and they were moved by the brotherly feelings of Jonck and Rooney! They are not only striker partners, but also brothers, which is rare in today's world football, and it is so cherished!!
"Nemanja, I'll leave it to you." Jonker handed Rooney, who was still crying, to the captain of the field, Vidic, and he himself high-fived Rooney, who was crying, and shook his hand to wipe his tears, and walked to the sideline while applauding to the stands.
'The most memorable goalscorer in Manchester United's history is saying goodbye to the club he played for for four years and the number 25 shirt for Manchester United will change next season. Lineker said with emotion.
"I'm afraid no one would dare to wear Manchester United's number 25, right? Because once you put it on, you have to be compared to Jonk, and this kind of pressure is really unbearable. Taibby sighed and said that in his two seasons with Manchester United, Jonk has scored more than 150 goals for Manchester United in all competitions, and it is estimated that no one will be able to catch up with such a terrifying goal rate.
Walking to the sidelines, Jonk bowed again to the fans in the stands, and the fans all stood up and applauded for a long time.
A player who is about to transfer and leave can receive such courtesy, which is definitely something that no one wanted to imagine before, but, when you think about it, it is understandable that Jonker's watch in the Manchester United team deserves this courtesy.
Jonk hugged every teammate on the bench, and everyone patted him on the shoulder with words of blessing.
Finally, Jonk and Ferguson hugged again.
"Have you figured out where to go?" Ferguson asked.
'I'm not going to stay in the Premier League.' Jonk said.
Ferguson sighed, patted Jonker's shoulder, and didn't say anything, which is what Ferguson is most worried about, if Jonk chooses Manchester City or Chelsea, then the threat to Manchester United is the greatest, not only in Europe, but also will affect the foundation of Manchester United in the league, Ferguson, who single-handedly cultivated Jonk into a superstar, knows Jonk's strength best, and Jonk is absolutely capable of bringing Manchester City or Chelsea to a higher level.
In the end, Manchester United won the FA Cup with a 2-0 victory over Chelsea at the new Wembley Stadium.
The image of Jonker wearing Manchester United's No.25 shirt and lifting the FA Cup title aloft was as iconic as the eleven times he lifted the trophy in the past four years, and it has become an eternal memory in the minds of United fans.
Manchester United won the FA Cup in 2008-2009 and together with the previous Premier League titles, Manchester United won the Premier League double this season.
Now, the whole football world is concerned about Jonker's transfer, and "Reuters" used one word to describe the impact of Jonk's transfer incident: magnificent!
Reuters said: "There has never been a player with such a big impact as Jonker, and his move has caught the attention of almost every big club that can get on the table, even Liverpool, who are in debt crisis, want to try their luck. (To be continued......)
