Bau Duc revealed the terms of how many matches Cong Phuong will start in Belgium
“Clermont Foot Auvergne 63 wanted to buy Cong Phuong for 3 years but HAGL did not agree. Our criteria is one year at a time. HAGL chose from many offers related to Cong Phuong from Japan, Korea and Europe. Finally, we chose Sint-Truidense VV Club,” Mr. Duc told Thanh Nien newspaper.

“The partners who paid to transfer Cong Phuong will definitely want to use him because they don’t spend money to play. But whether they use him or not is their business. We cannot attach the condition that we guarantee they will play less or more.”
Thus, Cong Phuong will almost have to fend for himself in Belgium while playing abroad. This will be a huge challenge for the striker of the Vietnam national team. However, Cong Phuong is also aware of this challenge and he confidently said that he wants to be the pioneer, opening the way to play in Europe for Vietnamese players.
Fans with 21 billion pounds spend "tons of money" to rescue MU
British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe has launched a plan to buy MU from the Glazer family.
Billionaire Jim Ratcliffe is the owner of the multinational chemical company Ineos. In 2018, he was named the richest person in Britain with a fortune of more than 21 billion pounds.
Because of his passion for football, the 66-year-old billionaire negotiated to buy Chelsea from owner Roman Abramovich last year but was unsuccessful.

According to Utdreport, Jim Ratcliffe has sent his subordinates to approach MU's American owners to negotiate buying the team. However, the Glazer family has not yet responded nor set a price to sell the "Red Devils".
The Glazers bought MU in 2005 for 790 million pounds. Currently, the Old Trafford team is valued at about 3 to 4 billion pounds. Because of the "bloodsucking" policy of MU, the American owners are not popular with the "Red Devils" fans.
