Star card system.

Everyone knows that Ibrahimovic and Guardiola are on the same page.

The deteriorating relationship between the two started at Barcelona and has continued.

Now when Mourinho said this, he was actually half-joking.

And Ibrahimovic agreed to stay, not because of these words, but because of Mourinho's sincerity.

Yes, he really wants to win the Champions League.

Now Manchester United is on the road to revival.

Especially with young people like Xia Xing, anything is possible.

Even for a team like Leicester City, Xia Xing can lead the team to win the Champions League and five crowns. Why can't Manchester United?
As soon as he thought of this, Ibrahimovic calmed down.

"Then I'll take good care of my injuries, try to return to the court as soon as possible, and beat that bald man with you!"

"OK! I'm waiting for you!"

Ibrahimovic rested and Mourinho also left the ward.

He plans to come back tomorrow to make sure that there is no problem with Ibrahimovic's surgery.

But there is one more thing that must be done.

Looking for a new striker.

Ibrahimovic is right, Manchester United does not have enough offensive power now.

There is not enough strength on the front line and needs to be supplemented.

Originally, Rooney and Ibrahimovic were under great pressure due to frequent rotations due to physical problems.

Now Ibrahimovic is completely injured and is even short of major generals.

Now only Lukaku, Rashford and Rooney are left on the front line to entrust them with important tasks.

Lukaku is okay, but the remaining players, old and young, either lack experience and need to be guided by their teammates, or lack physical strength to support the entire game.

Although Lingard and Mata in the middle can also make guest appearances, they are not pure attackers after all.

In the game that just ended, Xia Xing took the initiative to move to the attacking midfielder position, and he played very well.

Mourinho even considered that if the team is really short of players, Xia Xing can be used to replace them.

Not to mention the attacking midfielder, even if he is asked to play center, he can give it a try.

After all, Xia Xing has the body, speed, skills, and shooting skills. If he switches to center, he will definitely be a good prospect.

There is also Fellaini, who has also played as a center forward this season.

After all, he is tall and good at heading the ball. Although he has no foundation as a forward, he can still be used with his excellent physical fitness.

As for Martial, Mourinho has given up hope on him.

This kind of lazy player is Mourinho's least favorite type.

Now Mourinho has already considered in advance and will put Martial on the transfer list next summer.

Whoever wants it, wants it.

To keep him, it would be more reliable to promote a few young people from the youth team to train him.

Now the team needs a top forward, at least one who can reach Lukaku's level.

Ibrahimovic was needed before he was injured, and now that Ibrahimovic is on the field, the need is even more urgent.

Only by strengthening the front line can we be more confident when we hit the Champions League in the second half of the season.

After all, the next opponent in the Champions League is a strong enemy like Huang Saren. It is really impossible without a world-class striker.

However, where is it so easy to find a good striker?
Let alone the winter break, even during the summer transfer period, such top centers are very scarce.

Now Mourinho even feels a little regretful. He should try his best to intercept Diego Costa this summer.

After all, he is one of the top ten centers in international football today. Although he has an impatient personality, his ability is absolutely no problem.

It doesn't matter even if he comes and shares the ball with Lukaku, Xia Xing will feed him anyway.

But it's too late now.

Just after the game, on his way to the hospital, Mourinho made a separate phone call to Ed Woodward.

After chatting about Ibrahimovic's situation, I said hello to him and asked him to prepare for the purchase during the winter transfer period.

This matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, after all, there is only more than a month left before the winter transfer period.

It takes time to consider suitable candidates, negotiate with the opposing club, and discuss treatment with the opposing players.

Moreover, the poor ability of Manchester United's transfer negotiation team is obvious to all in Europe.

how to say?Even a business worth 5000 million euros can usually be negotiated to 8000 million euros through their efforts.

Every time he thinks about this, Mourinho makes endless complaints.

Manchester United is rich, but their transfer negotiation team is really bad.

Compared with Inter Milan and Real Madrid where I have been, it is far behind.

When he was at Chelsea, he also complained about the Blues' transfer team.

But compared with Manchester United, Chelsea is still a level higher.

Now we can negotiate 5000 million into 8000 million, which is not far away from 5000 million into [-] million.

One day, Manchester United's transfer team got smart and bought a player who was nothing for another [-] million.

Ha ha.

I was complaining in my heart, and suddenly the phone rang.

Mourinho took a look and realized it was Sandoku.

What do you want.

In fact, not to mention, their work attitude is still okay, at least they are paying attention to their transfer request.

"Hi, Ed."

"Hello, Jose. Are you still in the hospital?"

"Well, yes."

"How's Eevee?"

"It starts with four months of recovery."

"This season is completely ruined..."

"Oh, damn Newcastle, damn Benitez!"

"It's useless to say anything else. Get ready to buy a striker."

"Why else would I be calling you so late?"

"I knew you were a reliable guy."

The two chatted for a few words and got down to business.

"Jose, I think the people you sent me messages about are pretty good."

"It's rare that you actually agree with my choice so much."

"Of course, you have chosen top stars, can I disagree? But don't worry about it, it will definitely be useless."

"Can't you just try harder?"

"No big-name star would leave the team during the winter transfer period. As long as he doesn't fall out with the club, he will at least wait until the end of the season."

"I also know, that's why I'm communicating with you. I need your super communication skills to get it done."

"Stop hating me. It's really impossible for the people on your text message list just now. Don't even think about it."

"Is there no possibility at all?"

"No, I'm pretty sure. You could consider someone else."

"Others? Others are not worthy of Manchester United, which is competing for the championship on multiple fronts."

"..."

"Okay, that's it, goodbye."

"and many more!"

"What else?"

"Jose, I have a forward candidate that I would recommend to you."

"Do you have a candidate as a forward?"

"Yes, because our transfer team has been paying attention. They have had some conflicts with the club recently. There is a high possibility of leaving the team, and the possibility of the other party letting him go is also high. As long as the money is in place."

"You know, I don't want everyone, I want a world-class striker."

"He is a world-class striker with talent, excellent skills and a strong desire to win. He is also familiar with the Premier League and has played for a wealthy club for many years. He meets your requirements in all aspects."

"Are you talking about Alexis Sanchez?"

"That's right!" (End of chapter)
