Chapter 980
After defeating Southampton, Manchester United's intensive schedule finally came to an end.

There will be no league tasks next week, and next weekend will play consecutive League Cup semi-finals and FA Cup matches, but Sun Wu has decided to give up the League Cup, and the FA Cup will face Derby County in the English Championship.

The Carrington base was empty, and Sun Wu gave all the players three days off, so the reporters who were excited because of Manchester United's 21-game winning streak saw Manchester United players on the streets, restaurants and even the airport.

"In fact, it's more than three days off." Sun Wu sat lazily on the sofa, and said to Patrick carelessly: "Anyway, the League Cup has been given up, and the gold content of this trophy is too low. I really don't know what to grab..."

Patrick's face on the opposite side is dark, Manchester City has only won the League Cup for two consecutive seasons, what do you mean by that!
"The advice given by the club's psychological counselor." Sun Wuhan continued to provoke without fear of death, "Even if there is no problem in physical fitness, the psychological pressure accumulated due to the winning streak must be released. Manchester City seems to have nothing to do in this regard?"

Fei Sun, who just came back from France, saw that the two husbands and sons-in-law were bullying again as soon as she entered the house. She was too lazy to care about these crap things, "Christine, come and help."

"This is..." Christine flipped around, "Young player information from France?"

"Well, some of them came here just because of their reputation." Fei Sun glanced at her younger brother, not to mention Lucas, who had a termination fee of 1800 million, and Griezmann, who refused to accept the French club's youth training camp. Not to mention Binho, just the two examples of Pavard and Kanter are enough to advertise.

An ordinary full-back, now Manchester United's main rotation full-back.

One is still in the French second league midfielder, and is now the main midfielder of the French national team.

Not to mention those young players, even individual clubs hope to have a relationship with Sun Wu. Even if Manchester United does not want it, if they have been scouted by Manchester United, they may be able to sell more money.

Christine suddenly turned to look at Patrick, "Dad, will you be in charge of the transfer next season?"

Patrick was stunned for a moment, and then walked away with a dark face... The daughter's meaning is obvious, Manchester City is probably out of business this season, you will come to Manchester United's coaching staff to assist your son-in-law next season!

Of course, no matter whether you come or not, right now... it's better for you to avoid it.

Sun Wu walked over with a smile and flipped over. In recent years, the Ligue [-] has indeed had an explosion of young talents, but he did not interfere with Manchester United's scouting work. It is better to keep those names in the stomach, but Sun Fei can focus on it. observe.

Randomly flipping through a few, Sun Wu asked in surprise, "Are these all under your banner?"

"Of course not all of them. The scouts sent by the company collected them. There are well-known talented players, and there are also famous stars."

"No wonder." Sun Wu picked out two and put them aside, "These two midfielders are great, but they may not adapt to Manchester United, and Manchester United is not short of people."

Christine leaned over and took a look, "Corentin Tolisso and Nabil Fekir are both Lyon midfielders."

The former later moved to Bayern Munich for 4000 million euros. The latter is the captain of Lyon and a top attacking midfielder in Europe. The two of them are now the absolute main players in Lyon.

Going through the rest of the information, Sun Wu found a few familiar names. One was Carrasco who went to Atletico Madrid and then to the Chinese Super League, and the other was the "former" Manchester United star Martial.

Scrolling down further, Sun Wu's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, the scouts of Sun Fei's company have a good eye, but these two talented players should already have a good reputation.

One is Lemar who plays for the Caen club, and the other is the famous Mbappé.

After Sun Wu explained Mbappe, he went to the study. It is true that Manchester United has no shortage of wingers. Even if Griezmann is closer to the penalty area, Bernardo Silva does not have a strong breakthrough ability, but there are also Mane and Salah, but Sun Wu still wants to bring this super super fast guy to Old Trafford.

Manchester United is now the team with the lowest average age in the Premier League. This seems to be a good thing, but it also brings a problem. Young players always want more playing time. Otherwise, why would Lucas come to Manchester United? Why go to Wolfsburg...

On January 1, Manchester United played against Everton at home.

Everyone knows that Manchester United has given up the League Cup, but most people can't imagine that Sun Wu has done so well. A large number of main players have not entered the squad, and they have not even returned to the Carrington base to report.

Griezmann is in Paris, Salah is in Liverpool, Harry Kane is in London, Van Dijk is in Holland, De Gea is in Spain...

Starting with rotation players and reserve team players, Manchester United lost the game without any suspense. Barkley and Barry's two long-range shots made the Toffees the first to break into the League Cup final.

And this also makes Manchester United's record of must-have goals in every game that has been maintained since August 8 last year expires.

However, in this game, Sun Wu unexpectedly discovered that an old acquaintance performed well today. McTominay, who came off the bench in the second half, worked very hard. It is also reasonable to use.

The next day, Sun Wu held a coaching meeting at the Carrington base. During the holidays for the past few days, the players were on vacation, but the coaching staff did not. They took turns to observe the player status of the next Champions League opponent, Valencia.

After the meeting, Sun Wu mentioned McTominay casually.

"188cm." McPhelan said with a smile: "The youth training coach said that he can still grow. Although he is tall, he is very flexible, a bit like Matic."

"How tall was he?"

"At this time last year, he was around 170cm, and he was playing as a forward."

Sun Wu grinned and wondered if he should give McTominay a training bonus card. If this little guy goes well in a few years, he can succeed Fletcher.

"Look!" Giggs walked to the left side of the office, turned on the TV, and shouted back: "Manchester City leads 3-1!"

Carrick checked it on his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Kompani scored the first goal with a header and Gabriel Jesus scored twice."

"The first round was a draw." Sun Wu laughed and said, "It's amazing, Guardiola is going to win the League Cup three times in a row."

The corners of the mouths of the people around were twitching. It was an honor to win the League Cup for three consecutive times.

Sun Wu pondered how to go back and tease Mr. Taishan, the League Cup, this kind of thing we don't want, you are very active in grabbing it!

"In the next round of the league, Manchester City will play Liverpool away." Rolf reminded: "If we lose another point, our lead will be quite obvious."

"It doesn't make much sense. We currently have 64 points, Manchester City 62 points, and Chelsea 60 points. The gap is not big." Mike Phelan shook his head. "The most important thing is that the Premier League is much more intense than the Bundesliga."

Sun Wu agreed with this point of view. He explained to Rolf: "As long as they can avoid relegation, they can get nearly [-] million pounds in broadcast income next season. Which team will not fight for their lives?"

Rolf smacked his lips and remained silent. Thinking about it, if the Bundesliga broadcast share has so much money, he would have to risk his life.

Sun Wu glanced at the standings posted on the tactical board, "Aston Villa must be relegated, and the score has not broken through double digits so far, and Norwich is about the same, only 14 points so far, so, this The relegation battle of the season should be brought forward."

Mike Phelan nodded, "We have noticed in this regard that the relegation battle should be concentrated in March and April. By the last few rounds of the season, the relegation has basically been announced."
