Ye Su didn't know Mata's mind, he was just a little surprised that Mata had never expressed his opinion about renewal.

In fact, Ye Su likes the player Mata very much because he is a player who can perfectly perform his tactical tasks and achieve his goals. He is not keen on fighting for anything. Even if he is placed on the bench, he will not complain about anything. Once he is sent to the court, he can achieve the expected purpose.

You can summarize Mata in one sentence, that is, you can come and fight when you come. You are quiet in peace and not cause trouble. You are full of positive energy in life and set a good example for the young players.

Which head coach wouldn't like such a player?

From the bottom of my heart, Ye Su wished that Mata could retire at Manchester United, or even remain in the team after retirement, as an assistant coach, or as a youth team coach, and make use of his remaining energy.

But Mata is not very enthusiastic about contract renewal. Ye Su is also very excited and has been unable to complete the contract renewal with Manchester United.

……………………

When Ibrahimovic joined Manchester United last summer, he signed a "1+1" contract with the team. Ye Su now hopes to inspire the terms of the contract to extend the contract for one year, but Ibrahimovic is also not very enthusiastic about extending the contract.

The Swedish striker hopes to wait and see.

However, he did not want to leave Manchester United and climb to a higher score. Instead, he wanted to wait until the end of the season before deciding whether to stay at Manchester United for a year or choose to retire.

After all, he will be 36 years old in October this year!

Ibrahimovic's current mind is to see whether Manchester United can win the Champions League championship this year. If he can succeed, he will achieve his merits and can retire peacefully.

As the sixth-ranked super forward in the Champions League history and fourth-ranked active, Ibrahimovic has 14 seasons in the Champions League and has played in more than 120 games, but he has never won the Champions League title.

Ibrahimovic has played for eight clubs so far, namely Malmö, Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United. Except for Malmö and Paris Saint-Germain, the other six teams have won the Champions League, but when these clubs win the Champions League, there is no Ibrahimovic in the team.

In the 2008-2009 season, when Ibrahimovic was still at Inter Milan, Barcelona won the Champions League. In the 2009-2010 season, after Ibrahimovic transferred to Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan won the Champions League. In the 2010-2011 season, after Ibrahimovic joined AC Milan on loan, Barcelona won the Champions League championship.

Three teams have been changed in three years, and two of them have won the Champions League championship, and Ibrahimovic is not around. This seems to be a joke that fate is playing with him.

And the Champions League also seemed to have become Ibrahimovic's curse and nightmare.

Last summer, he chose to leave Paris Saint-Germain to join Manchester United because he was attracted by Ye Su's magical performance in the European arena.

He hopes to use Ye Su's magic to break his spell and end his nightmare.

However, Ibrahimovic was greatly shocked in the first leg of Manchester United against Sevilla in the Champions League knockout match.

When Manchester United fell behind 0:2 at Pisjuan Stadium, Ibrahimovic's heart was cold and he almost suspected that he had brought bad luck to Manchester United, which allowed Manchester United to be eliminated early in the Champions League.

Fortunately, Mbappe came on the bench later and helped Manchester United equalize the away game, which temporarily made Ibrahimovic's heart fall.

Ibrahimovic feels that he may not be able to stand such stimulation anymore. As long as Manchester United wins the Champions League this season, he will have to hang up his boots and enjoy his life.

However, Ibrahimovic is an extremely strong person. Once Manchester United misses in the Champions League this season, he plans to renew his contract with Manchester United and play for another year.

……………………

Several target players cannot renew their contracts with the team for the time being. Ye Su also knew that such a matter was urgent, so everyone could only talk slowly first. If the differences can be eliminated and an agreement can be reached, the contract renewal will naturally be achieved.

Moreover, with the current situation of Manchester United, the most urgent task is not to worry about the renewal of Rooney and the other three, but the upcoming League Cup final.

In the early morning of February 27, Beijing time, Manchester United will compete with Saints Southampton for the first New Year's Championship - the League Cup at the New Wembley Stadium!

This will be a difficult battle, on the one hand, because Manchester United had just fought Sevilla in Spain for 90 minutes in mid-week, and the main players had certain physical problems, and on the other hand, it was because Manchester United's opponent Southampton.

The Saints performed very mediocrely in the Premier League this season. After 25 rounds, they ranked 11th in the Premier League with only 8 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses. They are nearly 20 points away from the European War Zone. It is almost impossible to get a European seat through the league rankings.

Under such circumstances, winning the League Cup by defeating Manchester United and then gaining the opportunity to play in the European war is undoubtedly a more realistic goal.

Although the opponent in this League Cup final is Manchester United, it is better to fight in such a game of winning or losing than to work hard in the long schedule of the league?

What's more, Manchester United went to Spain to fight Sevilla in the middle of the week, which is undoubtedly an opportunity for Southampton.

……………………

Manchester United is also very successful in this 56-year-old second Cup in England. They have a history of winning 5 times and tied for Aston Villa and Chelsea to win the second most in the tournament.

In this event, Manchester United's arch rival Liverpool won the most championships. The Reds won a total of 8 championships, far ahead of other teams.

However, the last time Liverpool won the championship in this event was five years ago in the 2012 season.

The reason why Liverpool has won so many championships is that they won four consecutive League Cups in the early 1980s.

Relatively speaking, Manchester United's five championship experiences were relatively late. The Red Devils won the League Cup for the first time, only 25 years later.

In 1992, also the first year of the Premier League, the Red Devils, who were about to take off, finally won the first League Cup championship in team history under the leadership of Ferguson.

Since then, they won three consecutive wins in 2006, 2009 and 2010 respectively during the Ferguson era.

The last time Manchester United won the League Cup was a year ago. Ye Su led Manchester United to defeat his arch rival Liverpool 2:1 at the New Wembley Stadium, winning the fifth League Cup in the team's history, and also preventing his arch rival from continuing to set records.

A year later, Manchester United reached the League Cup final again. If they can beat Southampton, they will win the championship trophy for the sixth time and further narrow the gap with their arch-rivals.
