Raw in MTLNovel : "The Red Devils Successor"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Asensio signed his name on the contract, Tiger King patted his shoulder with a smile: "Marco, welcome to Manchester United, in a few years, you will be the second Scholes."

"Thank you for your appreciation coach, I will definitely grow into your number one player as soon as possible." Asensio said very politely.

"Okay." Tiger King nodded. "Have a good vacation, see you in July."

Looking at the figure of Asensio turning and leaving, Tiger King is very emotional. The future Real Madrid superstar has outstanding skills, wide vision, strong ball control ability, and often can score in big scenes. This boy is the key to both Real Madrid and the Spanish national team prosperity in the future. He did not expect to spend only 1 million euro to signed this future superstar, so lucky.

Asensio successfully transferred, the transfer fee is 1 million, and The posterity is the key to both Real Madrid and the Spanish national team in the future still has 42.2 million transfer funds available.

Continue to buy more players.

A nimble midfielder is secured. Tiger King was full of joy. He hummed the song out of the club door, and wrestled to buy a copy of the "Spanish Sports News". Although he did not understand Spanish, Spanish also has some English words, so he still knows some words.

Woodward chose a five-star hotel, then a few people took a taxi to the hotel and checked in. Several people rested in the room for a while. In the evening, Woodward went to ask Tiger King for dinner next door, and he saw Tiger King looking out of the window in a daze.

"What's wrong with Tiger, you don't want to leave this island anymore?" Woodward said with a smile.

Tiger King turned around and handed the paper in his hand to Woodward: "Look at this news."

Woodward took the newspaper in puzzlement and looked at the football section. The most obvious news from the position directly above: Real Madrid spent 30 million euros to sign Málaga's midfielder, Isco.

Woodward said in surprise: "Isco? Is he the player you like?"

Tiger King smiled bitterly: "We're still late."

It turned out that one of Tiger King's goals in Spain was Isco.

Of these transfer goals that Tiger King sees, besides Lewandowski, Isco is now the most famous. The young man trained by the Valencia youth training system transferred to his hometown team, Málaga in 2011. It is surprising that in the 2011-2012 season, Isco played the ball magically. The team reached the top four of La Liga and broke into the Champions League. In the past 2012-2013 season, Isco led the team to sixth place in La Liga and reached the UEFA Champions League Quarter Finals. Such an outstanding performance has attracted the attention of many giants.

Tiger King originally thought that he could get to him and sign Isco first, but he didn't expect Real Madrid to get to him so quickly and signed Isco first, which made Tiger King upset.

Seeing Tiger King's disappointed expression, Woodward comforted him: "Although this player is good, the value of 30 million is also too high. Even if you buy him now, then we will have no money to buy the other players on your list ."

Tiger King thought about it, indeed, he was a little better: "Woodward, you'd better arrange a seafood dinner at night to soothe my injured soul."

"Hahaha, no problem!" Woodward agreed.

Although the target was stolen, after this incident, Woodward looked at Tiger King suddenly. He had always been skeptical of the list of young players enumerated by Tiger King, and felt that these people were had small roles on the team's overall. But he didn't expect that the person that Tiger King fancy, at the same time, was snatched by the La Liga giant, Real Madrid in advance, which made Woodward admire Tiger King's vision.

The next day, Tiger King planned to sail southwest to Malaga, but because Isco had already been signed by Real Madrid, he didn't need to go to Malaga. They temporarily changed course and took the ferry all the way north to Barcelona, Spain's second largest city.

On the way to Barcelona, Woodward asked Tiger King excitedly: "Going to Barcelona this time, are you going to sign Messi?"

When he heard Woodward's words, Tiger King replied teasingly: "As long as you can give me enough transfer fees, I will sign Messi."

Woodward shook his head vigorously: "Forget it, in the current state of Messi, 100 million euros are not enough to sign him."

After listening to this, Tiger King couldn't help but shook his head: in the later generations, the outstanding players were worth hundreds of millions. He remembers that Neymar's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain was worth more than 220 million euros.

Tiger King looked at the rippling waters outside the ship, he smiled slightly: "Although I won't buy Messi, I am going to buy someone who can defend Messi in the future."

After arriving in Barcelona, Tiger King and Woodward rushed to Espanyol club nonstop, and directly discussed the transfer with the club. This time they were very straightforward, and they paid the termination fee directly to sign the player that Tiger King fancy-Eric Bailly.

With 3 million Euro transfer fee, he got the second defending core of Manchester United in the future, and Tiger King was satisfied.

Alonso, Van Dijk, Bailly, Kimmich, these four people can at least support Manchester United's defense line for the next 10 years, a steel defense line is completed.

Eric Bailly successfully transferred, the transfer fee is 3 million, and now Tiger King still have 39.2 million transfer funds available.

Because of Isco's lesson, Tiger King was afraid to delay anymore. He rushed directly from Barcelona to France because there were 6 players that he was ready to sign!

After arriving in France, Tiger King went straight to Boulogne, a city in northern France.

Along the way, Tiger King talked to Woodward: "Ed, can you guess who on this list is the one I value the most?"

Woodward didn't think about it: "Of course it is Lewandowski."

"Why?"

"Because he has the highest price."

"Ed!"

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding," Woodward said with a smile. "Let me guess, you said before that goalkeeper positions need to be substituted, Ferdinand and Vidic both also needs substitutes, and full-backs needs to be added. But I don't think those positions are the most urgent, the top priority is still the midfield position. Am I right?"

Tiger King nodded: "Yes, the biggest problem for Manchester United now is not the back line and forward line, but the midfield. Since Roy Keane retired, Manchester United has not had a strong defensive midfield player. So in these few seasons, with our strong forward combination and solid rear set of players, although it is enough to conquer the Premier League, there are still some gaps compared with the other big leagues' strong teams, so this time I came to Boulogne is intended to make Manchester United's midfield stand up!
