Mourinho was upset that he couldn't buy the person he wanted.

And there was another thing that also upset him.

That was that he couldn't get rid of the person he wanted!

"Martial must leave the team! I will never allow a lazy player like Martial to stay in Manchester United!

"Pogba's contract renewal must be suspended! When he understands tactical execution, we can talk about his salary increase!"

When Mourinho made these two requests in the meeting, the club raised objections again.

"Martial is a little lazy, but he is very talented after all. He can still be cultivated. Jose, you have to be patient."

"Pogba is a player bought by the club for 100 million. We must renew his contract with him as soon as possible. And I don't think his requests are excessive. After all, he is an important member of the team's six championships and has won the World Cup. It's normal to be arrogant. You have to be more tolerant of him, Jose. ”

These words were the last two straws that caused Mourinho to slam the door and walk out.

The people who wanted to buy could not be bought, and the people who wanted to leave could not be removed.

Mourinho, the six-time champion coach, was really frustrated.

In the eyes of Manchester United's top management, even Mourinho was not that important.

Why did Manchester United win six championships?

Of course it was because the club was awesome!

And the players were awesome!

You, as a head coach, are only so useful.

If anyone else coached Manchester United, the result would be almost the same.

After two consecutive seasons of improvement, Manchester United fans did not get carried away, but the club management got carried away first.

But Mourinho is Mourinho. Although he was in a bad mood, it did not affect his normal work.

After all, he is the head coach of Manchester United, and there are many things to deal with.

For example, transfers.

Cannot buy If you want someone, then you have to settle for the next best thing and introduce high-quality new players as much as possible.

After all, the team has changed a lot this season and must be strengthened as soon as possible.

There are three veterans leaving the team alone.

Carrick retired, Rooney and Ibrahimovic left on free transfers.

Last season, these three were not marginal figures in Manchester United, and even appeared in the final few important finals.

So the departure of the three people is necessary for Manchester United to fill the position as soon as possible.

And this summer, the Manchester United management gave Mourinho a total budget of about 80 million, and Mourinho was so anxious that he cursed.

Some people say that 80 million is not a small amount, and this is true.

If it is placed in Serie A or Bundesliga, this money is really a lot.

But this is the Premier League.

Even the relegation team has invested at least 50 or 60 million, and Manchester United, a defending champion, only has 80 million, It's too much to bear.

And Manchester United is a six-time champion team, glorious for a while, if they want to continue to stand at the top, they must continue to strengthen the team.

Players in European football are now overpriced. It is difficult to buy even a world-class star for 80 million euros, especially the super striker that Mourinho wants.

Griezmann asked for 100 million, and there are still many teams competing for him.

Even players like Lukaku are priced close to 100 million, and Mourinho is still a little dissatisfied, not to mention that there are only a handful of stars stronger than him.

In the end, Mourinho decided to invest the money in the midfield.

He spent 59 million euros to buy Brazilian midfielder Fred.

This former Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder has comprehensive skills, and Mourinho is watching him very much. It's been a long time.

The transfer fee is not low, and Mourinho is quite troubled.

Originally thought that 40 or 50 million could be done, but the Manchester United transfer team kept negotiating higher and higher, and finally the price was close to 60 million.

But I am also satisfied. After all, he has good strength, strong comprehensive ability, and is not too old, so there is still room for improvement.

In addition, Mourinho used his personal relationship to dig up the 19-year-old young right back Dalot from Porto.

This transfer transaction only cost 22 million euros, and Mourinho's own transfer was even more efficient than the Manchester United transfer team.

If the Manchester United transfer team is allowed to take action, facing the supernova of the European black shop and the scarce full-back in international football, it will cost at least 40 million.

In this way, Mourinho has spent all the money in his hands.

He doesn't even have the money to buy a third goalkeeper.

This summer, the third goalkeeper Henderson proposed to be loaned out for training. He has left the team and went to Sheffield United. Manchester United is in urgent need of an immigrant third goalkeeper.

In the end, the club still added some money to help Mourinho sign Grant, spending 1.7 million euros.

He was once the goalkeeper of Derby County and later played for Stoke City. Xia Xing knew him well. After all, Leicester City and Derby County were rivals for promotion to the Premier League at the time, and Xia Xing had also scored many goals against Grant.

Such a third goalkeeper is not bad. After all, Manchester United's first and second goals are quite good, world-class level, as long as they don't get injured, there will be no problem.

In this way, the transfer budget given to Mourinho by Manchester United management was used up, and the team's reinforcements were almost the same as no reinforcements.

Not only that, they also had someone leave the team.

Central defender Blind applied for a transfer and eventually joined Ajax, returning to where the dream began.

He is only 29 years old this year, and it is a pity to leave the team. Mourinho repeatedly retained him.

However, Blind was determined. He wanted to get more playing opportunities and was determined to leave.

Mourinho had no choice.

The central defender I wanted didn't come, and a rotational central defender left. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

The new season is not easy.

After handling the transfer work, the next step is contract renewal.

The club is still stubborn. They took the initiative to find Pogba and Martial and talk to their agents about contract renewal.

Since Sanchez joined the team with a high salary, many people in Manchester United are ready to move.

Although many people understand the composition of Sanchez's salary, they are still greedy.

When Sanchez joined the team, it can be said that the transfer fee was pitifully low, and this high salary was equivalent to the signing fee.

At that time, Mourinho also reminded the club that if they wanted to pay more money to poach people, it would be better to give a signing fee instead of a large salary increase.

But the club is still stubborn.

In the end, the club players quit.

We are all playing on the field, why is his salary half as high as ours?

This is unfair!

Before the end of the league, everyone was still peaceful. Now that the league is over, and players like Pogba performed well in the World Cup, they have raised their own value.

In the end, Manchester United renewed Pogba and Martial with high salaries, and also gave Lukaku, Rashford and De Gea a substantial salary increase.

No one said anything about De Gea's salary increase. After all, he was the defensive backbone of Manchester United last season. If Xia Xing is the biggest credit for the six-time champion, then De Gea is definitely ranked second, no problem.

But Lukaku has just transferred here for a year and his salary is very high.

Rashford has not played in the first team for a long time.

There is also Pogba who often makes trouble and Martial who is lazy.

The salary increase of these four people is really magical... (End of this chapter)
