I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Rooney made such a request, on the one hand because of his achievements in the past two years, and on the other hand because Manchester United is not short of money and can afford high wages.

Manchester United is a team that is very good at business operations. In another time and space, Manchester United was able to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona in terms of operating income and club value under the circumstances of very poor results. Now under the leadership of Ye Su, Manchester United had the best record in team history, which made Manchester United's business development team headed by San Dezi even more comfortable, and the club's income also skyrocketed.

In the 2015-2016 fiscal year, because Manchester United regained the Champions League and achieved an unprecedented quadruple crown, Manchester United's revenue experienced explosive growth. In September 2016, Manchester United's financial report for the previous year showed that from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016, Manchester United's total revenue was as high as 638 million pounds, and its operating profit was more than 100 million pounds, reaching 117 million pounds. billion pounds. Both figures set new records and were significantly higher than previous figures.

And in the new fiscal year, from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, Manchester United's revenue will definitely hit a new high. According to the most conservative estimate, that is, if Manchester United wins the Premier League championship and cannot win the championship in other competitions, Manchester United's revenue this fiscal year is expected to reach 660 million pounds, with a profit of about 110 million pounds; and according to the most optimistic estimate, that is, Manchester United defending the quadruple crown, then Manchester United's total revenue will exceed the 700 million pound mark unprecedentedly, and the operating profit will exceed 150 million pounds.

The reason why Manchester United's profits can be so high is mainly due to the substantial reduction in investment, in addition to the substantial increase in team income due to outstanding performance. To be precise, Manchester United has basically not spent much money on signings in the transfer market in the past two years, and even made a small profit. In addition, Ye Su and Manchester United have well controlled the team's salary structure.

As the club's revenue and profits have increased significantly, Manchester United's market value and brand value have also risen.

In Forbes' latest ranking of the 50 most valuable professional teams in the world, Manchester United topped the list of football clubs, and even surpassed the NFL's Dallas Cowboys for the first time, ranking the top of the list with $4.12 billion. .

………………

With an annual salary of 19 million pounds, it seems that Lu Xiaopang has only raised his salary to a level slightly higher than that of Ronaldo and Messi. The symbolic meaning is stronger, and it just gives him the title of the highest salary in world football.

However, for Ye Su and Manchester United, they don't want to break the team's salary structure because of Rooney.

Originally, Rooney's weekly salary of 300,000 pounds was already the only one in the team. The team's second highest salary, Ibrahimovic, was only 220,000 pounds, and De Bruyne's third was only 180,000 pounds.

If the team agrees to Rooney's request now,

Then his weekly salary is 66% higher than that of Ibrahimovic, and De Bruyne, the team's third highest salary and the team's midfield engine, is more than double that!

De Bruyne completed his contract renewal with Manchester United last summer. After the renewal, his weekly salary rose to 180,000 pounds, a 20% increase from the weekly salary of the first contract.

If Ye Su and Manchester United agreed to Rooney's request, then many Manchester United players, including De Bruyne, would probably rebel.

Last summer, De Bruyne expressed his understanding of the team's weekly salary of 220,000 pounds for Ibrahimovic. On the one hand, it was because of Ibrahimovic's reputation. The team gave him a higher salary, which can be regarded as compensation for the transfer fee.

Now that Rooney is asking for a weekly salary of 365,000 pounds, it may be difficult for De Bruyne to remain calm, even if Rooney is the team captain.

………………

For Rooney's new weekly salary, Ye Su and Manchester United's management have different opinions.

The Manchester United management headed by San Dezi not only disagreed with Rooney's salary increase, but also asked Rooney to cut his salary and renew his contract.

The meaning of the Manchester United management is very clear. Rooney will be 32 years old in October this year. By the time his current contract is executed in the summer of 2019, he will be almost 34 years old.

According to Manchester United's consistent 1+1 contract for veterans over the age of 30, that is, a one-year renewal, plus a one-year priority renewal right.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need for Rooney to re-sign the contract this summer. Now, Rooney took the initiative to express his intention to renew the contract. Out of respect for the captain and the team's top star, the team can complete the contract renewal with him. But Rooney has to make concessions, that is, to reduce the weekly salary level.

According to what San Dezi told Ye Su in private, he hopes Rooney's weekly salary can be reduced to 240,000 pounds. Although he will continue to retain the team's highest weekly salary, it will not be much higher than the latter.

………………

Ye Su was somewhat disapproving of the ideas of the Manchester United management headed by San Dezi. He even thought that Rooney's request was more reliable than San Dezi's ideas.

It is true that Rooney is now a veteran, but as the captain of the team and the number one star of the club, he naturally cannot be considered according to the so-called conventions.

Rooney now has a special card given by the savior system—an old tree with new shoots. Ye Su has no doubt that his state will decline rapidly in a short period of time unless he pulls out this card from Rooney.

However, because Rooney's original state is indeed not very good, Ye Su does not confirm that he still has a long peak period.

No matter how miraculous the savior system is, it cannot change the inherent laws of life. Ye Su estimates that Rooney will maintain his current state for at most three years, and then there will be an inevitable decline in his state, which cannot be prevented by the savior system.

Therefore, Ye Su felt that Rooney could be given a new four-year contract, that is, a two-year extension on the basis of the original contract, until the summer of 2021. Rooney will be almost 36 years old by then, and he can really consider retiring.

As for the weekly salary, Ye Su tends to keep Rooney's current weekly salary unchanged for the past two years, but from the third year onwards, there will be a certain amount of salary reduction based on his performance and status.

Ye Su felt that his thinking was more in line with the real situation, and Rooney would agree after careful consideration. After all, with his current situation, there is basically no possibility of transferring to other teams. On the one hand, it is because no one can afford the transfer fee in line with his status, and on the other hand, it is because of Rooney's age.

You know, with Cristiano Ronaldo's state against the sky, when he transferred to Juventus at the age of 33, people thought that Juventus's transfer fee of 100 million euros was crazy.

………………

Mata's situation is very different from Rooney's.

When he moved to Manchester United in early 2014, Mata signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Manchester United, plus a one-year priority renewal right. In other words, Mata's contract with Manchester United expires in June 2018, but Manchester United can forcibly keep Mata until June 2019 by invoking the priority renewal right for that year.

But under normal circumstances, if the contract renewal can be completed ahead of schedule, no one will be willing to trigger additional clauses to forcibly retain people.

Mata is a versatile midfielder with good abilities. In addition, he is only 29 years old. Ye Su hopes that the team can complete the contract extension with him as soon as possible.

But the problem now is that Mata has not yet made a decision on whether to complete the contract extension with Manchester United.

Under Ye Su, Mata's treatment is much better than when Mourinho was at Chelsea. Ye Su once regarded him as the core of the midfield, and later after De Bruyne joined Manchester United, he was also the absolute main force of Manchester United in the midfield.

However, with the continuous emergence and rise of newcomers headed by Bruno Fernandez, Mata's status in the team has become weaker and weaker, which makes Mata have some doubts about his future at Manchester United.

During the three years at Manchester United, especially the two years under Ye Su, Mata was undoubtedly very happy, because the team continued to win championships and achieved success.

And Mata's personal performance is also very good.

In the 2014-2015 season, Mata played 41 games for Manchester United in the three fronts of the Premier League, Europa League and FA Cup throughout the season. made a great contribution.

In the 2015-2016 season, Mata's number of appearances has been reduced compared to last season, but he also has 37 appearances in various competitions throughout the season, with a double-double of 11 goals and 21 assists, and his efficiency is even higher than the previous season. Excellent, averaging 0.87 goals per game.

But this season, Mata's appearances have dropped more significantly. In the 44 official games that Manchester United has played, Mata has played just over half of them, 22 games, and his efficiency is also very good. He has 8 goals and 12 assists, and the average goal is as high as 0.91 goals per game. The efficiency is amazing .

However, despite his performance, Mata still feels that his position in the team is getting worse day by day. The priority sequence of the midfielder position is not only behind De Bruyne, but even has signs of being surpassed by Bruno Fernandez.

Under such circumstances, Mata had the idea of ​​leaving Manchester United. Because he knows that with the passage of time, he will not only face the competition from the heyday De Bruyne, but also the challenge from the increasingly mature Bruno Fernandez, and even young Manchester United players like Lingard and McTominay. The young general Xun is also eyeing his position.

Staying at Manchester United, the pressure he has to face is really too great, so big that he can't breathe.

Mata is not a very strong person, and his character is even a little easygoing. At Chelsea, if Mourinho hadn't given him a chance at all, he would not have asked to move to Manchester United.

Mata also knows that he has no potential to tap. As he grows older, his ability will basically not improve, or even decline.

Under such circumstances, if he stays at Manchester United, the situation he will face may not be too good.
