Liu Yi had many choices.
Manchester United has a wide and solid network of relationships across Europe, with clubs that have long-term partnerships with the Red Devils scattered across the Dutch Eredivisie and the Belgian First Division.
For example, Antwerp, where "King Dong" served in his early years, was one such example.
However, if his goal is to stay at Manchester United, Liu Yi himself prefers to gain experience in the English football system.
Second-tier league teams are an ideal springboard.
The schedule is packed and the pace is fast, just like the English Premier League.
It's decided then and there.
Having made up his mind, Liu Yi knocked on Ferguson's office door.
"Feeling the reserve team doesn't play enough matches? Want to loan them out to gain more practical experience?"
The lord hesitated for a moment, his gaze behind his glasses flickering uncertainly.
"If you insist on staying in England, the Championship is indeed a good option right now; playing in League One is a bit of a waste of your talent... However, the Championship isn't easy either; at times, the competition there can be even more intense than in the Premier League!"
However, the boy's gaze was unusually firm, and his eyes revealed a calm confidence.
Ferguson sighed softly.
This is a very thoughtful and opinionated child.
It's a pity they signed a pig as their agent.
※※※
Manchester United have leaked information that they want to loan trainer Liu Yi.
Logically speaking, players who have made appearances for the first team and bring their own nationality to the team should be in high demand.
However, very few Championship clubs actually inquired about the price.
Most scouts believe that Liu Yi's body cannot withstand the rigors of the Championship.
His physical shortcomings will also magnify his weaknesses.
Ultimately, only one company explicitly expressed its intention to lease the property.
Leicester City’s chief scout, Steve Walsh, had been tracking and observing Liu Yi for a long time.
This young man, with his unpredictable positioning and sharp finishing, intrigued him.
Fox City currently lacks a reliable and efficient finisher.
However, Liu Yi's high salary became the biggest obstacle.
That's right!
The young Chinese player who earns a minimum wage (£5,000 a week) at Manchester United is actually one of the highest-paid players in the entire Leicester City squad!
Leicester City?
Liu Yi's impression of this club is set in the more distant future.
A club that no one believed in could succeed miraculously rose to prominence under the leadership of a veteran coach nicknamed "The Tinkerer," defeating numerous powerhouses and lifting the Barclays Cup.
However, in the 10-11 season, Leicester City was just a mid-table Championship team with neither the ambition to be promoted nor the worry of relegation.
The existence of fault tolerance indicates...
It suits me perfectly, haha!
Liu Yi nodded slightly, looked at Steve Walsh who was smiling in front of him, and spoke softly.
"I'll recommend someone else to you; you can take both of us with you..."
"This man is known as the Cheshire Football King!"
Jesse Lingard?
Steve Walsh looked puzzled.
Neither their immediate combat strength nor their potential can match Liu Yi's.
However, this young man made a name for himself in the English youth leagues very early on, and it is generally believed that he will have no problem being promoted to Manchester United's first team and becoming a regular starter.
"Okay, that's fine."
11 month 23 day.
On the morning of Liu Yi's eighteenth birthday.
Manchester United have released an official statement.
"Youth academy players Liu Yi and Lingard have joined Leicester City on loan until January 1, 2011."
Yes, England allows these kinds of short-term loans.
Many players may only stay for two or three months to gain experience.
The convenient procedures and flexible operation are also important reasons why Liu Yi prefers to stay in the English system to gain experience.
Manchester United will also be responsible for paying the salaries of Liu Yi and Lingard.
As for the rental fee?
For this kind of short-term rental, the rental fee is just a token amount!
While Lingard was excited, he was also somewhat apprehensive.
He had originally planned to begin the loan trip next summer.
Now, clubs are actually approaching us ahead of time.
Could it be that my talent can no longer be hidden and has already overflowed?!
He nudged Liu Yi with his elbow and asked softly in a low voice.
"Liu, tell me, am I a genius? Why did Leicester City take a liking to both of us!"
Liu Yi suppressed a smile.
He couldn't very well tell Lingard.
Second brother, you were actually a freebie, weren't you?
"You're not nervous at all?"
"What's there to be nervous about? I'm overjoyed! Carrington turns off the lights too early every day, I can't get enough of playing games. Oh right, I'm bringing my computer and game console with me!"
Liu Yi smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that the reason they loaned us two is so that we can encourage each other and improve together, not just be each other's gaming partners? This loan is only for a month at most. If they feel that our level is not up to standard, they will not renew the loan and will most likely go back to Carrington."
Lingard slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing what was going on.
"You're right, Liu, I've been a bit lax. You even scored for the first team, and I was still thinking about playing video games! Waaah, I'm so awful!"

This morning was Liu Yi's last training session with Manchester United's first team.
His teammates in the locker room all knew that he was about to be loaned out.
But I didn't have any particular ideas.
Unless you're a prodigy who reaches their peak right from the start, this is a step every star player must go through.
Only Berbatov was a little reluctant to part with it.
With Liu Yi gone, and without his company, he would once again have to run alone at the back of the line during physical training.
"Liu, I wish you a smooth journey on your loan trip. Here's what I'll do: before you leave, I'll teach you one of my secret techniques. Watch closely! Now, you'll defend against me."
Berbatov called Liu Yi and Lingard, who was training with the team, to a corner.
Pick up a ball and gently poke it forward with your toe.
The movements were so casual, as if he were just fiddling with something absentmindedly.
Just as Liu Yi reached out to snatch it.
"Handsome Guy" calmly placed the sole of his right foot on the top of the ball and pulled it back gracefully.
At the same time, using his left foot as a pivot, he completed a 180-degree turn with remarkable fluidity.
Immediately afterwards, he flicked the ball forward with the sole of his foot from the other side.
She then gracefully brushed past Liu Yi.
"The Marseille Turn?!"
Liu Yi is not good at defense, but it is certain that even a defender of Smalling's caliber would be confused by "Handsome Guy's" moves.
"No, this isn't the Marseille turn, but a turn I created myself—called the 'Kum Ho Turn'!"
"I don't know why everyone calls it Jinhu Revolving Lake."
Berbatov demonstrated it again, and then had Liu Yi and Lingard imitate him.
Lingard learned quickly and replicated the Jinhu Spin.
The more flamboyant the moves, the faster Lin Huang learned them.
He learned to ride bicycles alongside Cristiano Ronaldo back then, and now he's got the chance to do a turn at Jinhu Lake. He's really struck gold.
Although Liu Yi's dribbling skills were not outstanding, he had a strong learning ability and quickly mastered the skill.
"Isn't it cool? Right? Now that you two have inherited this legacy, don't forget to promote it for your master in the future."
After saying that, Berbatov suddenly seemed to remember something and added.
"Of course, publicity should be for the good! If you cause trouble, don't tell anyone about your teacher!"
