After securing Zirkzee and Yoro, Manchester United's focus has shifted to strengthening the midfield, with Ugarte being the primary target. Currently, personal terms have been agreed with the player, and negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain over the transfer fee are underway.

Signing Zirkzee for 42.5 million on installment, intercepting Real Madrid to sign 18-year-old Yoro for 62 million + 8 million, agreeing personal terms with De Ligt and Ugarte—the new Manchester United management has blended efficiency with boldness this summer window. Another difference from the past is that the new United leadership won't fixate on one target but will strike everywhere, employing diversion tactics.

Earlier, a bombshell news shook Manchester City fans. British media TEAtalk exclusively reported that Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has reached an agreement on personal terms with Al-Ittihad, and next Al-Ittihad will negotiate the transfer fee with Manchester City. Honestly, there have been multiple media reports about De Bruyne moving to Saudi Arabia, starting last summer.

After the summer window opened, Manchester United's new management demonstrated remarkable efficiency, with frequent positive developments in both recruitment and offloading surplus players. However, building a team certainly cannot rely solely on signings; nurturing homegrown youth talents is also a key focus.

In the 24th round of the 2024 Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua traveled to challenge Cangzhou Lions. Shenhua currently remains unbeaten with 15 wins and 4 draws, trailing the top-ranked Haigang by 5 points with one less match played. To maintain pressure on Haigang for the championship, Shenhua must strive for victory in this round. Cangzhou Lions have 4 wins, 5 draws, and 10 losses in 19 rounds, accumulating 17 points, currently ranking second from bottom on the table, facing immense relegation pressure.

Earlier, Aston Villa officially announced the signing of Belgian midfielder Amadou Onana, with a transfer fee of £45 million fixed plus £5 million in add-ons, approximately equivalent to 59.35 million euros. This is Villa's eighth signing this summer, totaling an expenditure of 1.76 billion euros, making them the summer window's "big spender" so far. With over a month left before the transfer window closes, this is unlikely to be Villa's final signing.

Recently, De Bruyne has been linked with Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ittihad, with British newspaper The Mirror reporting that personal terms have been agreed. However, a twist emerged as Guardiola confirmed in a recent press conference: "No, Kevin will not leave." This brief statement reassured all Manchester City fans. De Bruyne's importance is no less than Rodri's; the latter is the "tactical pivot," while De Bruyne is the source of attacking creativity.

Manchester United's new "management team" has demonstrated unprecedented efficiency in this summer transfer window, securing two major signings during the preseason phase. Next, United's recruitment efforts will not hit the "pause button"; instead, they will strike while the iron is hot, attacking on multiple fronts to continue searching for suitable targets in midfield, central defense, and wing-back positions.

In the 24th round of the Chinese Super League, Chengdu Rongcheng visited Wuhan Three Towns, and Wei Shihao came on as a substitute in the second half. Facing his former club, Wei Shihao became the focus after the match, not because of outstanding performance on the field, but due to a rough foul. In the 63rd minute of the game, Wei Shihao kicked Deng Hanwen from behind and was directly shown a red card by the referee. Immediately, criticism pointed at Wei Shihao, accusing him of harming the team again by failing to control his temper.

Greenwood ultimately joined Marseille, with a transfer fee of 26.7 million pounds (approximately 31.75 million euros), plus a 50% share of future transfer profits. Honestly, this is a win-win outcome for both Manchester United and Greenwood. Due to ongoing pressure from various parties, Greenwood could not return to Manchester United, while the club also secured a transfer fee to strengthen its squad. However, Manchester United cannot receive the full 31.75 million euros—can you believe it?
