"Okay! Let's make a deal!" Woodward showed a rare excited expression.

A day later, Jin Taige entered a state of intense work ahead of schedule.
Kintegger has won his first championship since coaching Manchester United. He is very excited and has more confidence in his coaching, but he dare not relax at all, because compared with the Champions League Cup, he still has the Champions League and the Champions League in front of him. The competition for the Premier League title must not be taken lightly at this time. The next three games are also crucial.
In the twenty-ninth round of the Premier League on March 1, Manchester United will go away to challenge West Brom.
In the thirtieth round of the Premier League on March 16, Manchester United will welcome rivals Liverpool at home.
March 19 will usher in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals. Manchester United will sit at home to meet the challenge of Olympiacos.
With the current situation of Manchester United, they are 4 points behind Manchester City in the league and 2 goal difference behind Olympiacos in the Champions League. We have to save our strength and prepare to attack Olympiacos at home.
After winning the League Cup on March 2, Kintag gave the players two days off to adjust, relax and recover their strength. On March 5, Manchester United soldiers jumped out of the joy of victory and continued to prepare for the next competition.
In the past few days of training, Kintag focused on training the team's offense, because in the next game, Manchester United's offensive efficiency will determine how far they can go.
On March 7, Kintag led the players to the West Midlands one day in advance to prepare for the next day's league. The next morning, they came to West Brom's home Hawthorn Stadium for field adaptation training. During the training, Manchester United players were very serious, because in yesterday's Premier League game,
Manchester City's 5-0 thrashing of Fulham seemed to have taken out all their anger at their Carabao Cup final defeat on Fulham. Manchester City got the three points they wanted, and the points gap between them and the second-placed Manchester United has reached 7 points. If Manchester United cannot win this game, then the possibility of them competing for the championship will be reduced.
Kintag knows that Pellegrini is full of expectations for his first Premier League season. Now that they have lost the League Cup and the prospect of the Champions League is confusing, he must win the Premier League.
During the training, Kintag also made serious demands on the players that they must win the game, get three points, and not fall behind in the competition for the Premier League title.
There's good news and bad news for this game.
The good news is that Van Persie and Icardi, who were injured a few days ago, are all back from injury.
In the past few days of training, Van Persie has recovered very well. In this game, Kintag has put him back in the starting list, while Icardi still needs some adjustments. He put Icardi on the bench and is ready to play Send him out in the second half to find the feeling of the game.
The bad news is that De Bruyne will not be able to play this game.
In the last Premier League game against Crystal Palace, De Bruyne received a red card and was sent off. Kim Taige appealed in order not to let him be suspended in the Carabao Cup final. He knew that De Bruyne's red card was a certainty, and it was impossible to reverse the case.
The final result of the FA is indeed the case. De Bruyne's red card upheld the original sentence and he was suspended for one game.
Therefore, in this game against West Brom, De Bruyne got a rest due to suspension. In this position, Kintag sent veteran Carrick to partner with Kanter in the middle.
In other positions, Jin Taige still let the main players come on the stage. His goal in this game is very clear, which is to score three points!
However, the progress of this game made Jin Taige a little annoyed.
Maybe it's because they just won the League Cup, so Manchester United's players are not in good condition, and they obviously have inattention on the court.
West Brom's strength is not strong. They have been dangling near the relegation zone this season. Now they are only 3 points away from the relegation zone. The relegation situation this season is worrying. In theory, Manchester United should be able to easily win this game.
But after the first half of the game, Manchester United returned to the locker room with a 0-0 score.
In the locker room, Kintag severely criticized the team's performance, and he was very dissatisfied with the team's performance.
As soon as the second half started, Kintag made substitution adjustments. Martial, who performed poorly in the first half, was replaced, and Salah took his place. In the first half, the team's offense was weak, and Kintag replaced Instead of Jones, let Valencia, who is more offensive, play the right back, and ask him to add more assists.
After Kintag made consecutive tactical adjustments, Manchester United's situation on the field began to undergo some changes
