Chapter 801: Stumbling

About Xia Xing's contract renewal, the two sides still did not reach a consensus in the end.

Solskjaer was a little worried.

When he communicated with Phelan and Carrick about the training camp, he talked about the topic of Xia Xing's contract renewal again.

"If Xia doesn't renew his contract, I will feel uneasy. Without him, Manchester United really can't do it."

Carrick comforted: "It doesn't matter, don't think too much, with Xia's loyalty to Manchester United, I think he will definitely stay at that time, after all, there are still two years in the contract, and there is enough time to negotiate."

Phelan was even more careless: "Man, are you guys worried a little too early? It's hard to say whether we will still be in Manchester United in two years."

Solskjaer was silent.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with this.

It's really hard to say how the team will be in two years.

Especially in a high-frequency league like the Premier League, where only results matter, it is common for head coaches to be fired.

Even though Xia Xing only has two years left on his contract, I might leave before him...

Carrick poked Phelan: "Your words are really hurtful."

Phelan: "It's true, but not harsh."

So far, the three of them no longer talked about Xia Xing's contract renewal.

This season has been very painful for many teams.

Especially the Premier League, especially the giants.

They just stepped up their time to play the remaining games of last season in two games a week, and then played in the Champions League and the Europa League.

Now they haven't recovered yet, and they have to play in the Champions League again.

Take Manchester United for example, they played the Champions League final on August 22, and ushered in the Premier League's first game on September 12.

In 20 days, the players only had a few days off, and then returned to the team for training.

But no one complained, after all, they had rested for too long before.

The new season is ready to go, and Manchester United is looking forward to starting again!

In the first round of the game, Manchester United played away against Burnley.

Facing the tenth place in the league last season, Manchester United did not underestimate it.

Their head coach is Dyche, who has coached the team for many years. The lineup and playing style of this game are not much different from last season.

On the court, Xia Xing met his old acquaintance Chris Wood again.

This former Leicester City teammate is playing well in Burnley.

As the offensive core of the team last season, he scored a total of 14 goals.

This data is quite impressive.

His current value has also reached a new high, climbing to 20 million euros.

From the first minute of the game, the two sides launched a crazy confrontation.

Burnley used to be Leicester City's old rival in the English Championship. His style of play is very tough. Even in the fierce Premier League, their madness is very prominent.

And the league has just started, and Manchester United has not felt that they will enter the game quickly.

Rashford, Greenwood and James's several attacks all seemed weak.

The three young people did not recover the momentum of last season's destruction.

In the first half, the two sides tied and neither scored a goal.

In the second half, Manchester United finally broke the door.

Rashford dribbled in the front court and shot from an angle.

The ball was saved by the goalkeeper, Xia Xing received the second point and shot directly!

The ball hit the upper right corner of the goal!

1-0!

Manchester United broke the deadlock!

Manchester United fans were happy but not that happy when they scored in the 77th minute of the game.

This game was really difficult.

Wood also got a chance to score a single goal in the 8th minute of the game.

Van de Beek, who came on as a substitute, made a coordination error in the midfield pass and the ball was intercepted by Chris Wood.

Quickly move forward and kick decisively!

De Gea fell to the ground to save the ball, making an extreme save!

Manchester United almost had problems.

Van de Beek was still in shock, and Xia Xing stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

In the end, Manchester United won the game 1-0.

Winning the first game and getting three points is a good thing.

But judging from the state of the game, it was really not good.

Did not fully enter the rhythm of the game at all.

Sure enough, in the second round of the league, Manchester United suffered a defeat.

Manchester United lost 1-3 at home against Crystal Palace and suffered a Waterloo.

Xia Xing is very familiar with the two players who performed best in this game.

Former Manchester United winger Zaha scored two goals in a row and was the key man for Crystal Palace to crush Manchester United away.

Now the title of London Zaha King has been determined.

And left midfielder Schlupp performed well in this game and got the highest score after the game.

He was once Xia Xing's Leicester City teammate. After winning the five championships with the team in 2016, he transferred to Crystal Palace the next season until now.

And Manchester United suffered a defeat in a rotation.

In this game, several new players all got the opportunity to play, but their performance was average.

They are far from being able to cooperate with their teammates.

For them, this transfer is very difficult.

After all, the team has almost no long pre-season training, and the interval between the two seasons is too short.

So they need time to fully integrate into the team.

But Manchester United's bad start cast a shadow on the team's future.

In the third round of the league, Manchester United beat Brighton 3-2 away, which allowed them to get three points without any danger.

However, even if they won the game, the fans were very dissatisfied.

Xia Xing's two shots and one assist helped the team win in the end.

But Manchester United can't rely on Xia Xing alone.

The forwards were weak and the defense made frequent mistakes, but they still couldn't find their form.

If it weren't for Xia Xing's super performance, they would be in trouble.

They won in the end, which is good.

In the fourth round of the league, Solskjaer encountered the biggest dilemma in his coaching career.

Manchester United lost 1-6 to Tottenham at home...

This score is simply too bad.

Mourinho's team celebrated wildly at Old Trafford, and the fans in white clothes in the stands were also excited!

This score is too cool!

As a former Manchester United coach, Mourinho did not celebrate at all.

He gave enough respect to Manchester United.

He could understand the feelings of all Manchester United people.

Because this night was a tragedy for Manchester United.

A huge defeat made it difficult for everyone to accept.

Although there was an objective reason that Martial received a red card shortly after the start, it was also the result of the team's poor performance.

Especially after Martial was sent off, Xia Xing was given more defensive responsibilities, and he had no energy to help the team capture the city.

In the end, the shameful score of 1 to 6 became the eternal pain in Solskjaer's coaching career.

The losing streak at the beginning even made Solskjaer take a big step forward in the Premier League coach dismissal rate list.

After the game, Solskjaer sent all the players away and drove home with Phelan and Carrick.

Solskjaer, sitting in the back seat, was speechless for a long time.

Until he saw the door of his house, he slowly uttered a sentence.

"Man, you were right a few days ago.

"At this rate, maybe I will really leave Manchester United earlier than Xia..." (End of this chapter)
