The 35-year-old young coach Thorne was appointed to take charge of the mired Manchester United. He set off a 400 million pound "liquidation storm" with iron-blooded tactics, cleaning up the core players such as Garnacho and Rashford who were in decline, and signed ten new players such as Cesco and Baldanzi who could adapt to the tactics to create a new team.
From being ridiculed as a "motley team" to winning the Premier League and Champions League double crown, Thorne used one season to create a miracle of reconstruction. But the glory was fleeting. After the double championship, the core was lost, the eight-game losing streak was severely damaged, injuries and red cards came one after another, and the team hit rock bottom. In a desperate situation, he promoted youth reforms, introduced Fati, Enzo and other monster stars, and led the team to bottom out.
Recruitment for international competitions and the impact of the African Cup are coming one after another, and the transfer market has set off another frenzy: Mbappe joins without a visa, three big monsters rush to support, and veterans leave the team freely. Coinciding with the change of ownership of the club, the new owner in the Middle East was eager for quick success and forced a tactical transformation. Thorne's iron-blooded system was impacted and his coaching position was in jeopardy.
From liquidation and reconstruction to the peak of the double crown, from recovery from the bottom to the joining of superstars, from tactical innovation to coaching crisis, this Manchester United, under the leadership of Thorne, has experienced the cycle of glory, collapse and rebirth. Amidst the storm of youth and the turmoil of the giants, it continues to write the legend of the Red Devils never giving up.
