CEO Ed Woodward, a prestigious figure in the field of club operation and management, is like a steady helmsman, commanding the advancement of various business affairs in an orderly manner. He has a sharp eye and knows the importance of every decision to the future development of the club.

Partner Sales Director John Annabell is also not idle. He shuttles between major sponsors with his keen market insight and excellent communication skills. His confident smile and capable conversation all show his professionalism in the field of sales. He goes all out to promote the implementation of various new and old contracts with sponsors, and does not miss any details that may bring more commercial benefits to the club.

Business Director George Adrian also shoulders heavy responsibilities. He carefully sorts out the terms of each contract and checks the data and requirements rigorously and meticulously. His focused expression seems to tell everyone that the standardization and accuracy of business cooperation cannot be sloppy.

All the staff of the club's commercial team, led by several senior executives, are running efficiently like tightly meshed gears. They are either communicating patiently with sponsors on the phone or burying their heads in documents to organize itineraries. Everyone is doing their best for the "Eastern Great Power Tour" that will start next month. They carefully consolidated the specific itinerary of this trip, from flight booking to hotel docking, from the venue layout of commercial activities to the details of meetings with local partners, all of which were implemented one by one, striving to make this "Eastern Great Power Tour" another important milestone in the club's commercial expansion.

At the same time, Sports Director Solskjaer is like a battle-hardened commander, fully committed to the coordination of transfer work. His eyes are firm and deep, and he keeps thinking about the shortcomings and reinforcement directions of the team's lineup in his mind. Every decision is related to the team's future competitiveness on the field.

Jason Wilcox, head of the transfer negotiation department, is even busier. With his years of experience in the transfer market and his eloquence, he frequently shuttles between various potential trading partners. Whether he is arguing with players' agents in luxurious conference rooms or arguing with other club executives on the phone, he is at ease and strives to get the most favorable transfer terms for Manchester United.

And the club team members under their leadership are like machines with a spring, carrying out various transfer-related work non-stop. Scouts are tirelessly running around the green fields around the world, paying close attention to the performance of young players with potential and famous stars, and promptly feeding back first-hand information to the club. Data analysts are immersed in massive amounts of data, using various complex models and algorithms to evaluate the degree to which each target player fits Manchester United's tactical system and their future development potential. Administrative staff are also operating efficiently, carefully preparing various transfer documents to ensure that every link complies with regulations and no mistakes are made. The whole team works together, hoping to build a more powerful and competitive luxury team for Manchester United before the transfer window closes.

At the Carrington training base, a busy and intensive preparation for the new season is underway.

Head coach Mourinho, a well-known tactician in the football world, is now concentrating on the important task of formulating a pre-season training plan. His deep eyes reveal his concentration and sharpness, as if he can see through everything in front of him and foresee the changes in the new season. He sometimes paces in front of the tactical board and ponders, and sometimes picks up a pen to quickly record his ideas about training programs, intensity and time arrangements in a thick notebook. Every detail cannot be sloppy, because he knows that a complete pre-season training plan will be a solid foundation for the team's journey in the new season.

Assistant coaches Van Nistelrooy and Scholes also closely surround Mourinho. With the rich experience accumulated in their brilliant player careers, they often put forward unique insights and suggestions. Van Nistelrooy's accurate shooting skills and deep understanding of offensive tactics, and Scholes's outstanding wisdom in midfield scheduling have become valuable assets to improve this training plan. They discussed with Mourinho how to better hone the players' tactics and improve their competitive state in the pre-season.

Giovanni Serra, head of the data analysis team, and his team were quietly busy behind the scenes. They collected game data from teams in leagues around the world through advanced data analysis systems, and used them to analyze the players' performance.and the performance indicators of Manchester United players in previous seasons. Giovanni Serra carefully studied the data, trying to find out the strengths and weaknesses of the players, so as to provide more targeted data support for the training plan, so that the training can accurately make up for the shortcomings of the players and bring out their maximum potential.

Fitness coaches Rui Faria and Carlos Larin are also busy. They carefully plan the players' physical training plan according to the schedule of the new season and the tactical needs of the team. From endurance training to explosive training, from aerobic training to anaerobic training, every link has been carefully considered to ensure that the players can have sufficient physical strength to cope with high-intensity games in the new season.

Goalkeeper coaches Emilio Alves and Silvino Rulo focus on the formulation of goalkeepers' training plans. They are well aware of the importance of goalkeepers in the team. They have designed a series of special training contents for goalkeepers' reaction speed, position judgment and goal-line technology, striving to make Manchester United's goalkeepers stand out in the new season.

However, even in such a busy preparation stage, these hard-working coaches of Manchester United still took a break and arranged a week's vacation for themselves. After all, the continuous high-intensity work has already exhausted their body and mind. This short vacation is like a sweet rain in the desert. Although it is short, it is extremely precious and allows them to accumulate enough energy before re-entering the battle.

During this short vacation, Mourinho, a head coach with a distinctive personality and great tactical talent, may find a quiet seaside, away from the noisy stadium, complicated tactical discussions and the shouts of players during training. He will choose to sit quietly on the beach alone, with the endless and sparkling sea in front of him. The waves come one after another, hitting the beach and making rhythmic sounds. He just watched the waves rise and fall quietly, and his thoughts seemed to drift with the waves.

He might recall the highlights of his coaching career, those moments when he led the team to victory with exquisite tactical arrangements at critical moments, and his mouth corners unconsciously rose slightly. But at the same time, he would also reflect on those lost games, thinking about whether there are any areas for improvement in his tactical arrangements and personnel dispatch. But at this moment, in the quiet atmosphere of the seaside, he is more about relaxing his tense nerves a little. The sea breeze gently brushed across his face, bringing a hint of coolness, and seemed to blow away some of his fatigue. He closed his eyes and enjoyed this moment of tranquility to his heart's content, as if time had stopped at this moment, and only the sound of the waves and the whisper of the sea breeze were accompanying him.

Van Nistelrooy, the star who was once famous for his sharp shots on the green field, is now an assistant coach and is also looking forward to this rare holiday in his busy preparations. He may return to his hometown without hesitation, the place that carries his childhood memories and growth footprints.

When he stepped on the land of his hometown, the familiar atmosphere came to him, and the simple warmth instantly surrounded him. He would first visit his parents, and seeing their aging faces, his heart was full of emotion and warmth. He would sit in the old yard with his parents, drinking hometown tea, listening to his parents nagging about family matters and telling about the trivial things that happened recently in the village. At this moment, he felt extremely at ease.

Then, he would gather with relatives and friends, and everyone would sit together, laughing and talking. They would recall together the fun of playing football on this land when they were young, those times when they chased the football on the simple court, full of sweat but extremely happy. Van Nistelrooy would step on the familiar court again with his childhood friends. Although it was no longer the same as it was back then, the love for football remained the same. They might have a relaxed friendly match, without the pressure of professional games, only pure happiness and nostalgia for the past. In such a gathering, Van Nistelrooy relived the simple warmth, and also completely freed himself from the tense working state and relaxed his body and mind.

Scholes, the midfield master, might take his family to hike in the mountains during the holidays. He would choose a place with beautiful scenery and rolling mountains, where there are lush forests, clear streams, and fresh and pleasant air.

In the morning, Scholes would pack his bags early with his family and set foot on the mountain path. Along the way, the children's excited shouts and laughter echoed in the mountains, making him feel the warmth and happiness of the family. He would patiently explain to the children the various plants and small animals he saw along the way, as if he had become aA knowledgeable nature teacher.

When they reach the mountainside, they will find an open place to rest. Scholes will sit down and look at the rolling mountains and the picturesque scenery in front of him, with awe of nature in his heart. He will share the food he brought with his family, and enjoy the pleasant time accompanied by delicious food and beautiful scenery in the quiet atmosphere of the mountains. When they continue to move forward, they may encounter some small difficulties, such as steep slopes or slippery roads, but Scholes will encourage his family to overcome these difficulties together. This process of facing challenges together deepens their relationship. During this mountain hike, Scholes enjoys the tranquility and beauty of nature, and also fully relaxes his body and mind.

Other coaches have also found their own way to relax. Physical trainer Rui Faria may choose to go to a quiet hot spring bath, soak in the warm spring water, let the warm spring water soothe his tense muscles and relieve physical fatigue. He would close his eyes and feel the temperature and flow of the spring water, as if all the fatigue disappeared with the flow of the spring water.

Goalkeeper coach Emilio Alves might go to a small music performance. He has always had a strong interest in music. He would sit in the audience, immersed in the beautiful music melody, gently sway his body with the rhythm of the music, let the charm of music cleanse his mind, and forget the troubles and pressure at work.

Giovanni Serra, head of the data analysis team, might choose to stay at home and read. He would choose a few professional books or some relaxing literary works that he had always wanted to read but had no time to read. He would sit in a comfortable study, make a cup of fragrant coffee, and then immerse himself in the world of books, broaden his knowledge through reading, and at the same time temporarily free his mind from the intense data analysis and get a kind of spiritual relaxation.

During this week-long vacation, every coach is enjoying this rare rest time in his own way, allowing himself to temporarily withdraw from the busy preparations. However, the holiday is short after all. When this week is over, they will devote themselves to the preparations for the new season with more enthusiasm and energy.

Mourinho will return to the tactical board again, and his eyes will rekindle his fighting spirit. He will further improve the pre-season training plan based on his thoughts and new situations during the holiday. Van Nistelrooy will work closely with Mourinho to incorporate his insights on player status and team atmosphere accumulated during the holiday into the training work. Scholes will also use his expertise in the midfield training to help the players better understand the tactical intentions.

The same is true for other coaches. The physical coach will adjust the physical training plan according to the new training progress, the goalkeeper coach will train the goalkeepers' skills and reaction speed more strictly, and the head of the data analysis team will continue to provide accurate data support for the training plan with a fresher perspective and richer knowledge.

In this alternation of preparation and rest, they have found a balance and accumulated enough strength to meet the challenges of the new season and write a new glorious chapter for Manchester United.
