"Go to Manchester United?" Ali said this sentence.

Suddenly he picked up the phone and started making calls.

Then he started talking in Dutch.

After a while.

He hung up the phone and looked at Lin Kedi.

"I talked with Ten Hag's agent. The contract has been signed. A five-year contract, plus a one-year extension. Manchester United seems to trust Ten Hag."

"Wait a minute, Ali, if I remember correctly, isn't Manchester United's head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer? He has led the team to the Champions League and will be fired, and he is also a famous figure in Manchester United. Under such circumstances, the coach should go,

Won’t you be scolded by Manchester United fans in the future?”

"No need for it later. Just check Twitter."

Lin Kedi opened Twitter.

Several football media accounts I follow are posting.

"Breaking news: Manchester United has decided to sign a five-year long-term contract with Ten Hag!"

"Manchester United has decided not to sign a formal contract with Solskjaer, but to sign Ten Hag!"

Lin Kedi looked up at Ali.

"The contract Lin Solskjaer signed was originally a temporary contract. In April this year, it was reported that Manchester United was going to sign a formal contract with Solskjaer, but now that I think about it, Ajax was just right at that time.

After advancing to the semi-finals, Manchester United may have taken a liking to Ten Hag from that time on. And it has only been so long now that a formal contract has been signed. Manchester United and Ten Hag must have started talking very early.

Moreover, Lin, I think Manchester United is also targeting you as a means!"

"Why do you say that?"

"What do you think of Ten Hag?"

"I think he is very good. He led Ajax to win the Champions League. We get along very well."

"Manchester United thinks so too. You and Ten Hag are direct relatives of each other! I think you can have a good chat with Ten Hag."

That afternoon, Manchester United officially announced that it had signed a five-year contract with Ten Hag, with a one-year contract extension.

This official announcement immediately caused a huge response among Manchester United fans.

It's basically half good and half bad.

Some fans think that wouldn't it be great for a Champions League champion coach to coach Manchester United? Manchester United has not hired a coach of this level for many years.

Some fans believe that although Ten Hag is a championship coach, he has never coached a big club like Manchester United and he can't even handle the locker room.

Of course, these fans are relatively rational fans.

And some die-hard fans of the Red Devils just started complaining.

"Ten Hag? He doesn't have the DNA of the Red Devils at all! He is not Solskjaer! He can't coach Manchester United. We don't need a coach without the DNA of the Red Devils!"

This kind of thing is just stupid.

Lin Kedi also saw this kind of remarks, and originally he thought it was just a very few fans.

But later that night, after he saw the words of some Manchester United celebrities on Sky Sports' football program Today Sports, he discovered that Manchester United is really very different from other clubs. This club is extremely particular about the so-called DNA.

.

This is no longer just a joke.

Today's Sports Today program is hosted by Lineker and guests are Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville and Roy Keane.

They are all Manchester United legends.

The theme of this program is also very clear - Ten Hag, is Manchester United the right choice?

Lin Kedi felt a little angry when he saw this topic.

Ten Hag, a Champions League winning coach, is going to your Manchester United. Isn’t that still uncomfortable?

So, Lin Kedi continued to look down.

——

Lineker: "So you have all seen the news. Five-year contract! This is basically the longest contract among the recent Manchester United managers, and it also comes with a one-year extension clause."

Ferdinand: "It is indeed a very good contract. It is basically the best contract among all managers in the post-Ferguson era. I think this also shows that the Glazer family is at least prepared to invest. Although I

They know that they are not doing it for the team's competitive performance, but for the business performance, but they at least understand the truth that only when the team performs well can the business be better."

Gary Neville: "Indeed, this contract provides extremely favorable treatment. However, I still want to say here that I don't understand why the club wants to fire Solskjaer. I think he has done a good enough job.

The team reached the Champions League and was still in third place, but was fired. An outsider was invited to come over——"

"Outsiders?" Lineker keenly caught a point in Neville's words and immediately started asking.

"Yes, an outsider! Solskjaer is one of our own. Although he is not a Manchester United youth training player, he has played for Manchester United for a long time and has made many contributions to Manchester United. He can stand up for the team in times of crisis.

, this is one of our own, he is a player and coach with the DNA of Manchester United, especially when he has performed so well this season, I can't understand why he should be fired. "

Lineker immediately asked: "Gary, so you think Solskjaer's coaching level is higher than Ten Hag's?"

Neville: "Of course not, but having a high level of coaching doesn't mean he is suitable to lead Manchester United."

"What you said is sophistry!" Roy Keane rarely disagreed with Gary Neville's view.

"Roy has a different view. Come on, Roy!" Lineker named Roy Keane.

Roy Keane: "I do agree with the first half of Gary's point, which is that Solskjaer has been treated unfairly. But I don't agree with the second half, because it is definitely suitable for a coach with a high level of coaching to lead Manchester United. This is

There is nothing to say. Can we say that Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are not suitable for Manchester United? Is Mbappe Linke not suitable for Manchester United? If these top coaches

If the players and players are not suitable for Manchester United, then there is something wrong with Manchester United itself. So I think there is really no need to discuss the following paragraph. As for Manchester United’s DNA, seriously, Gary, let me ask you, if Lin Kedi is willing

Come on, no, if Lin Kedi comes to Manchester United, he is obviously not from the Manchester United youth training, do you think he does not have Manchester United DNA?"

Roy Keane asks Gary Neville.

Gary Neville replied: "This is not a one-level problem. It is of course very good that Lin Ke can come, but I don't think he can be the one who hinders the development of our youth training players-"

"What is blocking?" Roy Keane asked directly.

"You know, Rashford and Greenwood are both outstanding players from our Manchester United youth training. If Lin Kedi's arrival will affect their development, I think-"

"Okay, Gary, don't think so. No wonder your coaching in Valencia was so bad. You are really not suitable to be a head coach. You are still good as a commentator." Roy Keane was too lazy to continue listening and directly typed.

Cut off Neville's words.

Rio Ferdinand and Lineker naturally laughed when they heard Roy Keane's words, while Neville could only respond with a wry smile.

At this time, Lineker asked another question.

"What do you think of the prospects if Lin Kedi comes to Manchester United?"

"If he can come, I think it will be a sign of Manchester United's revival! Because Manchester United can't attract any top players now. If Lin Kedi can come, he will be the first top star to come to Manchester United in the post-Ferguson era! I think
