Manchester Utd and the deal for “Ronaldo version 2.0”

However, to be fair, a 12-match unbeaten streak in the domestic league, along with reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals and a place in the top 4 of the Premier League, is a worthy reward, a success beyond the expectations of the "Red Devils" of Manchester.

After the defeat against PSG, the Old Trafford team clearly saw their weaknesses in defense as well as attack. Therefore, to prepare well for the next season full of competition and fierceness in all arenas, more than ever, MU is actively working on the transfer market to bring in quality contracts to supplement the team. Thereby, they can compete fairly with the big names in the domestic league as well as in the European arena.

With Joao Felix, not only MU but also Man City, Real, Bayer, Liverpool, PSG are also said to want the service of this player. At that time, the English team Liverpool made an offer of 60 million pounds to bring this player to Anfield. However, they did not receive a nod from the Luz team. Therefore, the number of 105 million pounds that MU put on the negotiating table will certainly make the Benfica Board of Directors change their mind. Because this is not a small amount of money when transferring a player who is only 19 years old. For MU, spending 105 million pounds is a record number in the transfer market of the "Red Devils" up to this point, but to bring Joao Felix to Old Trafford, the MU Board of Directors is ready to "break the bank" with the desire to own this young star known as "Ronaldo the second".

Felix has made a strong impression on big teams with his natural technical and skillful playing style, as well as his ability to create, being able to launch sharp passes to eliminate opposing defenders, creating favorable conditions for teammates to score. Besides that, this player has an impressive scoring ability. In the Portuguese National Championship alone this season, Felix has played 13 matches for Benfica, directly participating in 10 goals, including 7 goals and 3 assists for the Luz team. The strength of this player born in 2000 is that he can play versatilely as a winger, striker, or winger, like the way CR7 used to play for MU before.

With Felix, the Old Trafford team will have a perfect piece for the attack when Martial and Lingard are often injured due to overload, Lukaku is increasingly slow and lacks sharpness in scoring, Alexis Sanchez is no longer himself when on the field. Therefore, with Felix, MU has a sharp attacking midfielder to support the attack with Paul Pogba, when necessary, he can play with Rafford in the attack, or play on the wing to make accurate passes inside for teammates to score. This is the type of player with good technique, tactical vision, speed and ability to create, a necessary addition for Man Utd if they want to go further in every tournament.

In the past and present, the beautiful country of Portugal is known as the birthplace of the world's top football players such as Luis Figo, Moutinho, Fernando Couto, Ruicostsa, Ricardo Cavaho, Simao Nani, B. Silva... and especially superstar Chistiano Ronaldo. The above players are all very famous and have affirmed their names when playing abroad.

With Felix, this young player is showing that he will be a great player in the future, and playing abroad will be a good environment to assert himself. As Ronaldo is an example, when he moved to MU from Sporting Lisbon, CR7 was also 19 years old and this player quickly shone in the Premier League in his first season, and gradually asserted his star status wherever he was (Portugal national team, MU club, Real Madrid, Juventus). With Felix, playing in the Premier League is a necessary environment to develop his natural talent, and bring that talent to a new level like his senior CR7 did before.

If MU gets Joao Filix, it will not be easy when Benfica offers 120 million Euros for any team that wants this 19-year-old star, besides, the "Red Devils" also have to compete fiercely with other rich teams such as Real, Bayer, PSG, Man City... But the attitude of MU's Board of Directors is completely serious when wanting this player and the price put on the negotiating table of 105 million pounds has shown that. Felix personally also aims for the Premier League as a challenge in his career, and the destination is most likely MU, the team where his senior C. Ronaldo once came to and shone brilliantly./.
