Chapter 18: Development and Transfer's progress.

Eric Ten hag's POV

After the game and giving each players home work to deal with during their one day off, I decided to go call for a meeting with the owner and members of the round table as it is been called now on the transfer progress and the players I feel do not need to remain at the club anymore.

The next day, the members of the round table were seated and and ready to rumble.

The meeting got underway with Aisha informing us about progress with the transformation of the training grounds in focus and the Manchester united team in total.

She said "The gym facilities and the improvement in the general layout has been all but finished safe for some finishing touches here and there, the real reasons we won't say we are through with improving our training grounds is that some parts that needs to be decapitated and rebuilt are still in progress for example the swimming pool, the equipments and building of the sports scientists, etc require much more time but they should be completed on or before 17th of December so we can train for the carabao cup match against Burnley at our place".

"Okay, no problem. But during our earlier meetings I made some of my requirements known about the state of the stadium's pitch as well as the state of our dressing room, how has it been going". I ask

"Oh right, don't worry by the next game, while there are no much differences in the outlook of the stadium, you will be surprised to see a new 'Old Trafford' so put your mind at rest".

"Okay thanks l, let's talk about the transfer, after the last meeting with Isaac, I was made to know that we are currently running players for a right back, a center back, a center midfielder and a striker. Is the plan still that? I enquired".

"Let me answer that, Isaac begins I made a promise to bring you a world class center defender and I am proud to tell you that we are all but through with the purchase of Milan Skrinar from Inter Milan FC for a price of $50 million dollars (£41,350,000). Personal terms are all it remains but even that has almost been completed with a basic weekly salary of $320,000 (£265,000) and some bonuses".

"On Jeremie Frimpong's deal, the deal has been the completed but with the world cup going on currently,. announcing the deal would be like a feather thrown in the Ocean, no ripples. The deal is $27,500,000 with an additional add ons of $10 million".

"For the center midfielder, we and Barcelona are currently in talks to have gentlemen agreement on a price at which we can sign De Jong during the winter window while convincing the player involved that a move to man United is the best both for a personal and career reasons".

"For the striker, after Harry Kane's deal was declared by Daniel Levy as impossible during the winter window, we looked through your list and loo and behold, just like the heavens themselves went to support Manchester united, a player on your shortlist was made available for loan till the end of season, which to me is just sublime since we no player on your shortlist is willing to transfer during the winter window so we have to make do, as well as study his play style and chemistry with our players". he explained

Okay that's great, we are about to start a new chapter in the chronicles of Man United. Eric said.

Oh, yeah you hinted yesterday that some players are not part of your plans anymore and you don't mind them leaving, who are those.

1. Aaron Wan bisssaka (can be released this January).

2. Harry Maguire (end of season).

3. Fred (end of season).

4. Alex Telles (can be sold this January).

5. Dubravska (end of season).

6.Tom Heaton (end of season).

7. Dean Henderson. (can be sold anytime).

8. Axel Tuanzebe. (can be sold anytime).

I think that's all for now, if there are other players I will let you know. I ask.

Okay no problem, the negotiations team will get on them. Isaac replies.

Oh, one last thing I will love it if I can meet the people at the helm of the new scouting team after they are fully formed and operate able. I ask, I want to make my requirements known to them. I ask.

That's not a problem, after they are formed I will send them to you first thing, though it seems it will take longer than I thought. Isaac explained
