After James Wilson and Sergio Germán Romero, Manchester United officially announced the transfer of French left-back Ferland Mendy.
Originally, in the carefully planned blueprint for next season by Manchester United coach Mourinho, Ferland Mendy was an important substitute member at the left-back position. Manchester United had high hopes for him and had no intention of letting him leave. After all, both coach Mourinho and club chairman Rowe, who was a time traveler, knew the potential of Ferland Mendy. He was a potential player who could play a key role in the team's defensive system and offensive support.
Looking back at the past season, Manchester United created unprecedented glory and won the honor of "Quadruple Crown" in one fell swoop. This should have been a happy moment for the team, but for Ferland Mendy, it was a different kind of bitterness. In the direct competition with Theo Fernandez, he unfortunately lost. Theo Fernandez firmly occupied the position of the main left back with his excellent physical fitness, superb defensive skills and occasional flashes of inspiration on the offensive end. As for Ferland Mendy, he could only watch his number of appearances become extremely limited.
You know, for a professional player, the opportunity to play is like the sunshine and rain in life. Without it, many things will become difficult. Ferland Mendy is no exception. This limited number of appearances has seriously affected his position in the French national team. Ferland Mendy's situation has become more and more embarrassing, and his ranking in the national team has gradually declined, which makes him anxious.
Looking forward to next season, the situation does not seem to be optimistic. Theo Fernandez has become Mourinho's first choice for the left back position with his excellent performance last season. Moreover, Luke Shaw, the English national team left-back who was frequently injured last season, has now successfully recovered and returned to the team after receiving systematic treatment at the Chinese medicine physiotherapy center. Luke Shaw himself has good strength, and his return will undoubtedly further squeeze Ferland Mendy's already limited playing time. What's more, Diogo Dalot is an all-around player who can play on both sides at the same time, and his presence also gives the team more options in the deployment of defenders.
In this way, Ferland Mendy feels that his playing time next season may be greatly limited again. After careful consideration, he resolutely chose to apply for a transfer to leave the team. Fortunately, Mourinho is not an unreasonable person. He understands Ferland Mendy's helplessness and desire for more playing opportunities at the moment, so he gave Ferland Mendy understanding and permission. Subsequently, Ferland Mendy's agent Yvan Le Mee began to get busy, and he wanted to find a suitable next home for his client.
At this time, there is a team that has long favored Ferland Mendy, that is the Spanish Real Madrid Club. Real Madrid, a prestigious European football club, is facing some problems in its left-back position. Marcelo Vieira, once known as the world's number one left-back, is now aging. His once lightning-fast speed, sharp breakthroughs and accurate crosses have gradually disappeared with the passage of time. Now, he can only sit on the bench for most of the season. Sergio Reguilon, the young player who replaced Marcelo Vieira, although he performed well in the game and did not make any major mistakes, obviously did not meet the requirements of the newly returned coach Zinedine Zidane for this position. As a legendary coach of Real Madrid, Zidane has extremely strict standards for players in all positions of the team. He hopes that the left back will not only have excellent defensive ability and be able to build a solid defense when facing the opponent's sharp attack, but also have a certain offensive talent, so that he can be timely inserted when the team attacks and deliver ammunition to the forward line. Sergio Reguilon's performance in this regard is not enough to satisfy Zinedine Zidane.
At this time, Ferland Mendy entered Real Madrid's vision. Although he did not play many times in the past season, he still had a relatively bright performance in that limited playing time; coupled with his being the favorite of Didier Deschamps, the head coach of the French national team, his outstanding performance in the national team games is obvious to all. Zinedine Zidane, the new coach of Real Madrid, who is also a French legend, naturally pays special attention to him, as if from Ferland Mendy.Mendy saw the hope of filling the vacancy of Real Madrid's left back. In this way, the two sides hit it off and soon entered the substantive stage of transfer negotiations.
Real Madrid showed full sincerity, and the offer they made was very generous: 48 million pounds + 5 million pounds floating clause. Although such an offer is not a sky-high price for Manchester United, it is definitely an attractive price. After receiving Real Madrid's offer, Manchester United's transfer department consulted Rowe immediately, and did not set any obstacles to Ferland Mendy's transfer, and quickly released it.
For this reason, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez also called Rowe to express his gratitude. On the phone, Florentino Perez expressed his gratitude to Manchester United for letting him go so readily, and also looked forward to more cooperation opportunities between the two sides in the field of football in the future.
Afterwards, Manchester United's official Weibo also sent blessings to Ferland Mendy:
"Since joining Manchester United, Ferland Mendy has contributed his strength as the team's left back. With his excellent physical fitness, he has shown a tenacious fighting spirit on the defensive end, successfully intercepted the opponent's attack many times, and made great contributions to the team's defense. He also has a good performance in offense. His speed advantage allows him to insert himself in the wing at the right time, creating threatening passing lines for his teammates in the frontcourt, helping the team to open up the situation on the offensive end.
During his time at Manchester United, Ferland Mendy has always maintained a dedicated attitude, whether it is the daily hard work Whether in training or in intense games, he went all out without slacking off. He fought side by side with his teammates, experienced the joy of victory together, and endured the sadness of failure together. These experiences have become an indispensable part of the team's memory.
Although he is about to transfer to a new club at this moment, his footprints in Manchester United will not be forgotten. All members of the Manchester United Club would like to send the most sincere blessings to Ferland Mendy, and wish him to fully demonstrate his strength in the new club and achieve better results. May he have good luck in his new journey. "
After Ferland Mendy, midfielder Jesse Lingard also chose to leave. This English midfielder, who is in his prime, has been in poor condition since he was seriously injured at the beginning of the season. This time he will transfer to the Spanish Royal Espanyol Club with his other two teammates Sergio Germán Romero and James Wilson.
Manchester United said in the announcement, "Jesse Lingard was born in Manchester United's youth training system.

Afterwards, Jesse Lingard also posted a farewell message to Manchester United on his personal social media.
"Dear Manchester United fans and all my Manchester United family:
At this moment, I write down my farewell words to Manchester United with an extremely complicated and heavy heart.
When I was still a teenager with a dream of football, being able to put on Manchester United's jersey and step into the sacred green field of Old Trafford was like being in the most brilliant dream. Here, every inch of grass carries countless glory and stories, and I am fortunate to be a part of it and experience those exciting moments in person.
Recalling the days at Manchester United, it was a journey full of struggle, sweat and laughter. In every game, I tried my best to run and fight on the court, just to live up to the mission given by this red jersey. Those moments of fighting side by side with teammates are still vivid in my mind. We cheered for victory together and encouraged each other when we lost.
I remember every goal I scored on this field. When the ball passed through the net, I heard the cheers of the fans. That feeling is unforgettable in my life. And those long-distance raids and clever passes are all common memories between me and Manchester United.
However, life is always full of partings, and now I am turning to a new journey. But Manchester United is more than just a club to me. It is my youth, the birthplace of my dreams, and the eternal home in my heart.
I want to thank every fan who supports me. It is your shouting that gives me strength; thank the coaches for their careful guidance, which allows me to continue to grow; thank my teammates for walking side by side, making this journey so wonderful.
Although I am reluctant, I know that there is still a long way to go in the future. I will carry on with everything I have learned at Manchester United. Manchester United will always be in my heart. "
Of course, some veterans have also completed the contract renewal with the club, and Manchester United has also released the relevant news on the official website and social media account as soon as possible.
