One morning, Li Lin'en, a finance PhD from the London School of Economics, wakes up to find he has transmigrated from 2026 back to a Singapore penthouse in 2022. Before him lies a Manchester United share-transfer agreement left by the reclusive tycoon father he has never met. In his palm is an encrypted phone with an urgent message from Richard Arnold, along with a line of sharp handwriting: Fix it or bury it. Don't bring shame on the Li family.
At the time, the Red Devils are in tatters: the midfield has collapsed, leaving the defense exposed; the back line is misshapen and riddled with holes; the aging frontline lacks a focal point. The Glazers have left behind debts in the hundreds of millions, Ten Hag's possession-based system is going nowhere, and the dressing room is rife with undercurrents.
He, however, carries memories of Manchester United's decline over the next decade and more, commands the Li consortium's tens of billions in capital, and combines a fan's obsession with a financial analyst's precision.
He passes on the overpriced Antony, secures Casemiro at a lower price, fights tooth and nail to sign De Jong as the core of the midfield, and handpicks Ivan Toney to anchor the frontline. He clears out deadwood, revitalizes the academy, and stabilizes the dressing room. With a transmigrator's foresight, he devises the most precise recruitment strategy and turns around the mess left by the Glazers!
From summer-window signings to matchday tactics, from securing a top-four league finish to challenging for the Champions League, from crushing debt to a return to the summit, Li Lin'en single-handedly reverses the Red Devils' decade-long decline, and once again sends the red flag of the Theatre of Dreams flying atop Europe!
This time, there will be no regrets, only glory. As heir to the Li family, he will take the reins at the Red Devils and write a whole new legend for 2022!
