July 1st.

Manchester United official: Lin Kedi officially joins Manchester United with a transfer fee of 230 million euros and a 5-year contract!

The accompanying picture shows Lin Kedi and Ed Woodward smiling and shaking hands.

There is also a photo signed by Lin Kedi.

There are also photos of Lin Kedi and Ten Hag shaking hands.

In the end, the three of them stood together, with Ed Woodward standing on the left, Ten Hag on the right, and Lin Kedi standing in the middle.

The last photo is of Lin Kedi holding up the No. 7 jersey with "LIN" printed on it.

At the end of the official news.

Manchester United announced that it will hold a welcome ceremony for Lin Kedi at Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford, the Theater of Dreams on July 3.

This is also the first time in the history of Manchester United that such a big move has been made to welcome a newly joined player.

In fact, the Premier League does not like to organize joining ceremonies for new players like La Liga.

In the Premier League, players often take a photo with the club's senior management in the office, then take a signing photo, and it's done.

Usually the first game is for fans to welcome new players.

But it's different in La Liga.

In La Liga, it is normal for new players and big-name players to have a welcome ceremony.

For example, the welcome ceremony held after Ronaldo joined Real Madrid was so large and enthusiastic that even Cristiano Ronaldo, who had experienced many battles, was stunned.

This time, Ed Woodward, who is well versed in business operations, must organize this welcome ceremony, and not only do it, but also make it special.

Old Trafford Stadium can accommodate 76,000 spectators and is a famous stadium in Europe.

After Manchester United announced that it would hold a welcome ceremony for Lin Kedi, it opened a reservation channel on the official website, and fans with season tickets can apply for purchase first.

Very quickly, in less than 5 minutes, the reservation channel was fully booked.

Ed Woodward looked in disbelief when he heard the staff's report.

"All full? All 76,000 seats?"

"In fact, there are more than 76,400 people. The extra 400 people will watch from a temporary viewing platform."

"Wow! Matt, did you hear that? He's already making money for us before he even plays for us!"

"Ed, this money——"

"I understand, just donate it all in the name of Manchester United and Lin! Haha, we are about to witness the next superstar!"

"Ed Lin is already a superstar. He now has the best odds of winning the Ballon d'Or!"

"Matt, you are right. Lin is already a player of Manchester United, so the campaign for the Ballon d'Or Award must be launched as soon as possible. We cannot wait until the voting closes in November, then it will be too late. I learned from Perez.

I learned a lot. I’ll start in August!”

——

On July 3rd, at 14:00 in the afternoon, the sun was blazing.

But it can't stop the enthusiasm of Manchester United fans.

Cuju, a football media outlet, conducted interviews with Manchester United fans outside Old Trafford.

The host Kai is a Chinese fan and works in the UK.

He was very excited now.

Because he is a Manchester United fan himself, he was very happy during the work interview.

Outside the stadium, there were many Manchester United fans wearing various Manchester United jerseys. He didn't even have to look for them. There were Manchester United fans everywhere.

So, host Kai started the interview.

"You must be here to attend Lin Kedi's welcome ceremony today!"

"Of course!" the Manchester United fans replied happily.

"What do you expect from Lin Kedi?"

"His performance last season was very good, but he will definitely have to adapt to a new league and a new country, but I still have expectations for him, because he is very strong and has great potential! His progress

The goals are there, the numbers don't lie. So I will look forward to his performance in the Premier League top scorer list."

"He's Mr. Big Scene!" another fan chimed in.

"Yes, Mr. Big Scene. His first big scene was the Europa League final. When he faced us, he completed a hat-trick. God, that was almost three years ago. At that time, he had just turned 16.

Years old! So I said Lin and we are destined!"

"Then do you still have expectations for the remaining signings?" Kai continued to ask.

"To be honest, with the arrival of De Ligt and Lin, I think this transfer window has been the most perfect in the past ten years! Of course, it would be better if the right back can add another player."

"Actually, Dalot still has great potential. I hope Ten Hag can fulfill his potential!" another fan added.

After interviewing this group of fans, host Kai saw several fans with Asian faces.

As soon as I got closer, I heard them speaking Chinese.

"Are you Chinese?"

"yes."

"Are you here to watch Lin Kedi's welcome ceremony?"

"Yes, we all flew from China specifically to see Lin Kedi's welcome ceremony. After all, it's such a rare opportunity, and we Chinese are definitely coming!"

"Then what are your expectations for Lin Kedi's performance in the new season?"

"20 goals in the Premier League, maybe 7 or 8 in the Champions League. After all, we are in a new league. But maybe Lin Kedi's performance will be better, after all, he broke the record last season!"

——

Soon, it was 15 o'clock.

The welcome ceremony is about to begin.

Lin Kedi walked out of the players' tunnel on time. He was wearing Manchester United's new season jersey, with the words "LIN" and No. 7 printed on the back of the jersey.

As he walked towards the center of the court, he raised his hands to greet the fans.

A temporary stage was set up in the center of the stadium.

First, Ed Woodward, the chairman of Manchester United, took the stage and gave a speech.

The core meaning is only one sentence.

"When he scored a hat-trick against us two years ago, I knew we would definitely sign him! And today is the day when the dream comes true!"

After saying this, the audience burst into applause.

Next, Lin Kedi came on stage to give a speech.

Lin Kedi did not bring any speech notes with him.

Instead, he spoke directly.

"Two years ago, I just turned 16, and less than a week later, I played the last two games of that season, one was the Eredivisie and the other was the Europa League final. In the next two years,

Everyone knows what happened in the two seasons. And now I come to Dream

Theater, Old Trafford Stadium, I must admit that Manchester United is a giant team with a long history. It has a long history, countless celebrities and superstars, and it has hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

Hey. We provide exciting games for the fans every week.

Of course a team will have troughs, but from now on, from this season, starting from me, we will get out of the trough, we have to return to the position that belongs to us, to the position that belongs to Manchester United, the league, the Football Association

Cup, League Cup and Champions League, we have to compete for the championship in every line. Manchester United will always compete for the first place! The glory belongs to Manchester United!"
