If it is you?

Jin Taige felt that the situation at Manchester United was not very optimistic. The team was in crisis, and the prospects were bleak. Suddenly, someone spoke from behind them, "In crisis? Tiger, what do you think about the future of the team?"

The two turned around and were immediately stunned. "Mr. Ferguson, what brings you here?"

"I came when you said 'crisis'," Ferguson said sternly without any expression on his face.

McGuinness thought to himself that the Tiger had annoyed the Sir. At this moment, a player on the field fell down. McGuinness took the opportunity to run away under the guise of checking on the player, leaving only Jin Taige and Ferguson at the sideline.

"Tiger, let's sit down and chat for a while."

"Sure, Sir."

The two sat on the seats of the coach's bench and remained silent for a long time. Ferguson finally broke the silence, "How have you been lately?"

"Okay."

"I can see that you look much better now. McGuinness told me that you have made great progress in the past few months." Ferguson looked at Jin Taige and said with satisfaction, "That's the way to go. Don't dwell on the past and focus on being a coach. Who knows, maybe one day you can take over my position."

Jin Taige smiled, "I think I need to study for another two lifetimes to reach your level, Sir."

Upon hearing this, Ferguson shook his head and said, "I think you are already at a high level now."

"Oh?" Jin Taige was taken aback.

Ferguson continued, "You've already noticed the crisis facing the first team."

Jin Taige's face turned red, "Sir, I misspoke earlier. Please don't take it to heart."

Jin Taige thought Ferguson was angry, but Ferguson shook his head, "Everyone says that Manchester United has a strong squad, a reasonable age structure, and many talented reserve players in the middle age group. But only I know that there are indeed many problems with Manchester United now. You're the first person to express your concerns to me, and I'm glad. Tiger, what do you think about the future of the team? I want to hear it."

Jin Taige was still a bit embarrassed, "How could I dare to talk nonsense in front of you, Sir?"

"We've had a 20-year mentor-student relationship. Don't you understand my temperament yet? Let's chat casually, I won't get angry."

At the same time, on the first team training ground, all the players were very relaxed, and Captain Giggs was leading everyone in a recovery jog. With just one month left until the end of the league, Manchester United led second-place Manchester City by more than 7 points and had four more matches to play, all against weaker opponents. Therefore, the league championship was almost certain.

But Manchester United's European results were poor this year. After making it through the group stage, they unfortunately met the strong opponent Real Madrid in the Round of 16 and ultimately lost the match 2-3 on aggregate.

In addition, Manchester United was also eliminated early in both the English FA Cup and League Cup, losing the chance to compete for the cup championship.

Therefore, it was only mid-April and Manchester United had already lost all desire and ambition. The players were relaxed and could be heard laughing during training sessions.

However, they did not know that a conversation between two people at the youth team training ground would determine the future of some of them.

Upon hearing Ferguson's greeting, Tiger fell silent for a moment. In his memory, TigerKing was a man of few words, serious and stubborn, but Tiger was not like that. Although he had lost his memories from his past life, his temperament and character had not changed. Tiger was decisive in his actions and generous in his demeanor. Although he had only recently integrated into this world, the people around him could feel the change in his temperament. When he saw Ferguson just now, he appeared very respectful, and upon hearing Ferguson's question, Tiger's heart immediately ignited.

"I am also a coach now. Since Sir wants to listen, I will tell him my thoughts," Tiger thought. He no longer hesitated and picked up a handwritten board from the nearby seat, writing as he spoke: "I believe that almost every position in the current first team has hidden dangers."

"At the goalkeeper position, De Gea is the main goalkeeper. He is an excellent young player and given time, he will definitely become a top-class goalkeeper like Casillas. However, the backup goalkeeper Lindgaard's ability is limited. If De Gea is injured, the whole team's strength will be greatly reduced."

"In the defense line, the best central defender partnership this season has been Ferdinand and Vidic, but both of them are old and cannot play at a high level for one or two more years. Jones and Smalling have little match experience and are too young. Evans is also inconsistent in form. As for the full-backs, Evra and Rafael are both very strong, but they have never had suitable substitutes. This season, the two of them haven't been injured much, so this problem has been hidden and not many people have noticed it. But this chronic illness needs to be solved, as it will always be a problem."

"In the midfield, Scholes retired this year, Giggs will retire next year, and Carrick is also getting old. Although the remaining young players have good skills, they cannot reach the world-class level of Giggs and Scholes. When they retire, the entire Manchester United midfield will drop down a level. And the most urgent problem is that after Keane left, we have not found a strong defensive midfielder. I think this is the most urgent problem that Manchester United needs to solve."

"The forward line is better, as Rooney and Van Persie are both in their prime, Hernandez is agile and Welbeck has great potential. The situation in the forward line is the best."

"So I think the most urgent thing to do next season is to strengthen the defense, especially the central defender position. Then, we need to quickly find a strong defensive midfielder to support Manchester United's midfield. If there is still transfer funds available, it would be great to buy a speedy forward to make our lineup more diverse."

Jin Taige talked non-stop for a long time, while Ferguson remained silent. He looked at his disciple in front of him, and as Jin Taige spoke, the eyes of the Sir coach became brighter and brighter. When Jin Taige finished speaking, Ferguson closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

Seeing the Sir coach react like this, Jin Taige thought he had said something the coach didn't want to hear, so he shut his mouth and looked at Ferguson.

After a long time, Ferguson opened his eyes and carefully looked at his once-painful disciple in front of him. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "If you were my successor, how do you think Manchester United should continue to move forward?"

"Use the old to bring in the new and build a young team like the Class of '92," Jin Taige said.

"Oh?" Ferguson was very surprised. "Are you not afraid that such an urgent change will make the team's performance unstable?"

The arrow is on the string and must be released. If we don't initiate change now, we will be waiting for death in the years to come. Only by rebuilding a young and dynamic team can we ensure Manchester United's glory for the next 20 years!" Jin Taige said with conviction, his eyes shining with a glimmer as if he could envision the bright future of the Red Devils.
