Translation of the article content: Kobbie Mainoo is expected to join Chelsea. A commentator claims that the prospect of Kobbie Mainoo leaving Manchester United to join Chelsea has come as a "surprise" to both sides, as he "would not make it into the team." During the 2024/25 season, Mainoo made an extraordinary breakthrough for his childhood club, Manchester United, and shone for England at last year's European Championship, becoming one of the best young players in the Premier League. Despite this, there are reports that the Red Devils are willing to let Mainoo leave this year as they seek to raise funds for a major rebuild. The midfielder is one of Manchester United's most valuable assets, and selling him would be pure profit. Several clubs may want him, but Chelsea is reportedly "leading the race" to sign him. While there are reports that Manchester United would sell Mainoo if a suitable offer were made, they are also in contract negotiations with the midfielder, and whether he will leave remains to be seen. Chelsea's interest in Mainoo has surprised former England international Paul Robinson, who believes the Manchester United star would not start ahead of Romeo Lavia. Robinson told Football Insider: "Chelsea will definitely surprise us." "But look again at the midfielders Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez. As I said, they are currently injured in that position, but when everyone is healthy and Kobbie Mainoo is on the field, will he join the team? No, he won't. "In my opinion, Lavia is one of the best players in the Premier League…

It always seems like Manchester United's recent transfer market operations are akin to a blind gambler fumbling with cards, with all the talented "good cards" at hand but always playing the wrong card at critical moments. Many people see Meunier as the young man who represents the future of Manchester United's midfield, but he may actually be heading to Chelsea? Hearing this news, many fans probably feel not just uneasy but angry: why do the talented players cultivated by our youth training system always end up being handed over to others after being nurtured for so long? Can Meunier become the next Pogba? This is a challenge facing the management of Manchester United. Who is Meunier? For many Manchester United fans, this name has already been deeply rooted in their hearts. This 20-year-old defensive midfielder is not only fast and has a broad vision, but also dares to launch bold attacks in the midfield. His growth trajectory is also a highlight of Manchester United's youth training system. However, the problem is that his future may no longer belong to Manchester United, but rather to our "competitor" - Chelsea. It is rumored that Chelsea has set its sights on Meunier, and the reason is that the renewal negotiations between Manchester United and him did not go well. Not only that, Meunier did not get enough playing time this season, and his form also showed some ups and downs. Coupled with the fact that Casemiro currently firmly occupies the starting position in the team, Meunier has almost no room for development. Imagine,…

The renewal negotiations between Manchester United and Menu have reached an impasse, which has sparked considerable discussion in the media recently. In particular, a report from the Daily Mail shocked everyone, claiming that Menu's agent demanded a contract with a weekly salary of up to 200,000 pounds from Manchester United. This demand seems excessive, as Menu has just turned 21. Although he has performed well at Manchester United, he is still a young player. When discussing such a high salary, it inevitably raises questions. Some netizens expressed, "Menu has potential, but getting a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds does seem a bit excessive." This makes people think: How can a young player who has played in the Premier League for less than three seasons and only contributed 3 goals and 1 assist in 39 Premier League games dare to ask for such a high salary? According to Menu's current performance, there is indeed a significant gap compared to top players of the same age. Compared to the level of other England internationals, Menu's performance on both offense and defense is not significantly outstanding. As for the report by the Manchester Evening News, although it also mentioned that Menu's renewal negotiations encountered obstacles, it did not reveal the salary figure he requested. Everyone can see that the renewal issue between Menu and Manchester United seems to be more than just a simple salary negotiation. Whether Manchester United is willing to renew Menu with such a high salary may need to consider the club's overall strategy. Some netizens suggested, "If Menu really…

The decline in Manchester United's performance over the years has been severe, from being a top Premier League team to not even qualifying for the Europa League. Fans are disappointed with them, but the players within the team have no fighting spirit at all; they only want to secure their own high-paying contracts instead of considering how to improve their skills and enhance the team's performance. This time, the new "Prince" of Manchester United, Meunier, has openly caused trouble. Chris Wheeler, a journalist covering Manchester United for the Daily Mail, discussed on the program: "Meunier is openly pressuring the team, hoping to receive a contract renewal worth 200,000 pounds per week. This contract would be ten times his current salary. As a representative figure of local training, Meunier has indeed become the focus of attention in recent years. Especially since Rashford is likely to leave during the winter transfer window, it's very possible that Meunier will receive significant cultivation if he stays." However, we can also hear that Meunier is getting too arrogant, wanting a tenfold pay raise after just one good year of play. This is something that the Manchester United management really cannot accept. Therefore, it is likely that Meunier will choose to leave if he cannot get a contract that meets his salary demands. Fans are furious, calling Meunier an ungrateful wolf. After giving him opportunities last season, Meunier only then performed well and grew. But now, on his first contract renewal, he is demanding such a high salary, especially as his performance on the field this…

Just last season, a few months ago, Manchester United's genius new star Kobe Menu was still the standout in the team. This young man played his part in England's rise to the final of the 2024 European Cup during an outstanding season in his first participation in high-level football matches. In November 2023, Erik ten Hag belatedly brought this local youngster into the Manchester United squad for the first time, starting him in the Premier League match against Everton after he was injured in the preseason. Menu's performance as the best player in the Premier League at Goodison Park set the tone for his personal glory in the 2023/24 season. For this graduate of the Manchester United youth academy, a significant highlight came in February when Menu locked down all three points for the team in dramatic circumstances against Wolves. He cleverly weaved through the home team's defense and then sent the ball into the corner of the goal with elegance. A Premier League star was born. However, this talented midfielder returned to Molineux Stadium on Boxing Day, embodying the rookie wall problem that any young player often encounters. In the disappointing 2024/25 season so far, 19-year-old Menu has performed poorly. In his 50th appearance for the first team, Menu looked like a shadow of the player who shone last season. As Samuel Luckhurst said, Menu struggled in midfield. Now deployed in midfield alongside summer signing Manuel Ugarte, this Manchester United youth talent seems somewhat behind the pace, winning only twice in eight duels, failing to complete a dribble, and…

On December 27th, in the Premier League Boxing Day fixture, Manchester United faced off against Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home. Bruno Fernandes' red card changed the course of the game, leaving United with ten men after the 47th minute. They ultimately lost the match while playing a man down. Wolves player Cunha scored one goal and provided one assist, directly scoring from a corner kick and then assisting Hwang Hee-chan's goal. The defeat to Wolves, with a scoreline of 0-2, has made it clear to Amorim that the £55 million new star is lazier than Rashford, having played 15 games without scoring or assisting any goals. Last season, Manchester United finished 8th in the Premier League, and this season they are likely to rank even lower. Currently, United has only managed 6 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses in 18 Premier League matches, accumulating 22 points and sitting in 14th place, which is the seventh from the bottom, with an 8-point lead over the relegation zone. Despite having a squad value of 790 million euros, placing them among the top in the league, their league position is disappointingly low. There are several high-priced but underperforming players in the United squad, whose individual abilities do not match their market value. These include Marcus Rashford and Joao Felix at 55 million euros, Garnacho at 50 million, and Menu among others. Menu, who shares the same valuation as Rashford, also seems overpriced. In the match against Wolves, Menu started and was substituted after 63 minutes. He had 3 key passes and 1 tackle,…
