Chapter 402 Manchester United's signings

Manchester United has invested a lot of money in transfers this summer.

On the back line, Manchester United did not choose to complete the buyout agreement with Belgian central defender Van Biden who joined on loan at the winter transfer window. The Belgian central defender was returned to Marseille and then quickly transferred to Hamburg in the Bundesliga.

Van Biden's early performance at the loan rank for Manchester United was indeed pretty good, but he was on the injury list after only 5 games and was on the roster until the end of the season. This caused the old Sir to worry about his physical condition. After all, Van Biden is a super big man with a height of 1.96 meters. With such a strong rhythm of the Premier League against the super game, he can easily become a glass man.

In this way, Van Biten had the experience of joining the top European giants earlier than another time and space, and also Manchester United won the triple-championship, so he unexpectedly won two important events: the FA Cup and the Champions League!

As for the Premier League champion, he missed the chance because he did not reach the lowest number of appearances.

However, Manchester United still introduced fresh blood on the back line, which was to spend 6.9 million pounds to introduce Argentine defender Heinze from Paris Saint-Germain, and also lured young central defender Pique from Barcelona.

Heinze is the core of Paris Saint-Germain's defense. He is fierce and decisive in defense and tenacious in fighting spirit. He can be competent for the central defender and left-back. Manchester United introduced him, which is a good completion for the defense line.

Although Heinze is not tall, his reaction is fast and fast, and he can complement the tall Ferdinand. This is another choice for Manchester United, which Belgian central defender Van Biden does not have.

The Belgian central defender is taller than Ferdinand, and his speed and turn are slower. The combination of him and Ferdinand is indeed sufficient for air defense, but once he is hit by his opponent, it will be very troublesome.

As for Pique from Lamacia, Ferguson is more about planning for the future. After all, this kid is only 17 years old, and it is too young for the central defender position.

……………………

Because in the midfield, Manchester United has Yin Jun, Roy Keane, Giggs, Scholes, Ronaldo, Fletcher and others, and is already the strongest midfield configuration in the Premier League, and Ferguson does not intend to sign and strengthen the midfield.

Manchester United's focus is on the front line. Uruguayan striker Fran has been playing for Manchester United for two and a half years, but his performance has been unsatisfactory, so Ferguson decided to clean it up. Then the Uruguayan striker transferred to Villarreal, who had the nickname "yellow submarine". In terms of introduction, Manchester United introduced forward player Alan Smith from his former rival Leeds United before the season ended, which cost Manchester United 7 million pounds.

However, these transfers are all small fights, and Manchester United's real goal is Everton's talented striker Wien Rooney.

Because Yin Jun's contract renewal conditions require Manchester United to invest no less than 50 million pounds in the transfer market every year. Although this does not require Manchester United to complete all of them in the summer transfer window, generally speaking, it is difficult for Manchester United to obtain a very good recruiting target in the winter transfer window, so it mainly depends on this summer transfer window.

At present, Manchester United's expected transfer price for Rooney is around 25 million pounds. But even so, Manchester United still only spent 40 million pounds, and there is still a gap of 10 million pounds from 50 million pounds.

If Manchester United performs well in this community shield game, Ferguson will just forget it. At most, he will spend another thousand dollars in the winter window to make up for the thickness of the lineup.

However, because Manchester United's defense line was like paper in this conversation with Arsenal. Although we can still look forward to the return of Ferdinand and Heinze's position, Manchester United's defense line still has quite a problem.

……………………

From last season and this summer training camp, the current situation has shown that O'Shea, Wes Brown and Sylvester are all embarrassed. They may be a good substitute rotation player, but they have to take on the main task, which is really not enough.

Even if Ferdinand returns, Heinzer is in place, and with Gary Neville, Manchester United's defense still has big problems.

What's more, Manchester United will definitely fight on multiple fronts in the new season, and they must reserve more personnel on the defense line.

Ferguson is very clear that the statement that offense wins fans and defense wins championships is not just a saying. Last season, Manchester United beat Arsenal and Chelsea to win the Premier League championship, and also beat the team all the way in Europe to defend the Champions League, but this was based on Yin Jun's big explosion.

Although Yin Jun is genius enough, Ferguson dared not put all his hopes on Yin Jun, especially hope that he will always maintain the super explosion like last season.

Therefore, if Manchester United wants to compete with Arsenal and Chelsea in the new season, they must strengthen their defense.

Especially when Chelsea has invested heavily in the transfer market this summer and has invested almost 100 million pounds to sign.

As for the candidates for signing, Ferguson already has a candidate. Manchester United scouts have been paying attention to a central defender and a left-back for a long time in Eastern Europe and France.

……………………

Yin Jun did not know Ferguson's signing plan. Although he added the terms of signing in his contract renewal with Manchester United, Yin Jun knew that this did not become a reason for him to directly interfere in Manchester United's transfer.

Therefore, even though he knew that Van Biden would perform well in Bayern Munich in the future, he still did not express his intention to leave the team with a Belgian central defender.

Yin Jun knows Ferguson's strength very well. If he really interferes with Manchester United's transfer, maybe Van Bieten did not complete the transfer to Manchester United, but instead he turned around and was pushed into the transfer market.

Moreover, Yin Jun is not unfamiliar with the story of Orange Born in Huainan. Van Biden may be able to succeed in the Bundesliga because the intensity of the Bundesliga is far less than that of the Premier League, but if he really wants to stay in Manchester United, he will not have such success again.

Just like another Belgian central defender Kompany in the future, he is indeed very capable and can be regarded as one of the biggest contributors to Manchester City's rise in the Premier League, but his glass attributes are also very obvious. During his time at Manchester City, except for three seasons in the previous four years, he had a attendance rate of more than 30 games, and the rest of the seasons were absent at least 10 games. Most of them were due to injuries, not because of rotation.

After watching the Community Shield Cup match that lost to Arsenal with a big score, Yin Jun's idea was to get things done as soon as possible and then fly to Manchester to serve.
