Which Manchester United club did Ma Diqi go to?

On the evening of July 3 1 Beijing time, Manchester United officially announced the signing of former Chelsea midfielder Ma Diqi. The two sides signed a three-year contract, which also included a one-year extension. According to Sky Sports, Ma Diqi's transfer fee is 40 million pounds.

Ma Diqi, 28, started his football career in Kolubara, Serbia. In the summer of 2009, Chelsea signed the Serbian international for 654.38+500,000. However, Ma Diqi left Stamford Bridge on 201110 and joined Portuguese super giant Benfica. In the winter window of 2065438+2004, Mourinho, then head coach of the Blue Army, hand-picked the senior management to re-sign Ma Diqi, and the Blue Army spent 2 1.25 million pounds for him.

Chelsea won the Premier League title last season, in which Ma Diqi played an important role as the main midfielder of the team. However, after the arrival of Bakayoko, Ma Diqi was no longer regarded as a key player by Chelsea. Bakayoko was hand-picked by Blues coach Kong Di. Mourinho hopes to bring his former lover to theatre of dreams, and Ma Diqi himself hopes to join hands with Mourinho in the Premier League again. Now, this "romantic" transaction has finally been completed.

On Ma Diqi's joining, Mourinho said: "Ma Diqi is now a Manchester United player and also a Mourinho player. He has all the qualities we require of players: loyalty, unity, ambition, team spirit and so on. I am very grateful to him for joining Manchester United. I believe our players and fans will like him and welcome the team's new No.31(Ma Diqi wears the No.31jersey at Manchester United). "

Ma Diqi said in an official interview with Manchester United: "I am very happy to join Manchester United. I can't refuse to cooperate with Mourinho again. I can't wait to meet my new teammates and start training with them. I look forward to creating more wonderful historical chapters for this great club. "
