Since Ratcliffe took over at Manchester United, there has been a remarkable overhaul of team strategy. The previous layoffs and the removal of the Ferguson ambassadorship have been widely discussed. Recently, Manchester United's frugal strategy is even more hotly debated, they even consider leasing a private jet to save money, and even to the city's arch rivals Manchester City to lend a helping hand, hoping to share the "hitchhiking", will be the Ming Nai, Alexandra Canazo sent to Paris to participate in the Golden Globe awards ceremony, but encountered the other side of the categorical rejection.
The Golden Ball Awards ceremony opened in Paris on Monday (28th). Manchester United's Minnay and Ganassou were successfully shortlisted as candidates for the KOPA Award (U21 Golden Ball Award). However, according to the Daily Mail, United decided that hiring a private jet to transport the players was not cost-effective, so they tried to seek help from city rivals Manchester City to share the "ride".
Why did Manchester City ultimately turn down the request? The reason was "pettiness". City had 8 players who also needed to attend the ceremony, including 5 men's players such as Lodi Kasjandi and Ainin Chalainte, and 3 women's players, and the plane was full. United's plans don't seem to have worked, and they may have even inadvertently angered their rivals.
