Manchester spell? Whoever leaves will shine!

scored in his first 14th minute and scored consecutive goals. This is the report card Hoylen handed over after leaving Manchester United. Meanwhile, Manchester City's loan garish was just elected Premier League Player of August. The two Manchester City giants seemed to be trapped in a magical cycle: the players were taciturn when they were in the team, but shining after leaving the team. Is this a coincidence or a tragedy of the system?

1. "Produced by Manchester United must be a fine product"? I'm afraid it's "Manchester United's abandoned product, instantly becoming a god of war"!

Hoylen contributed only 10 goals and 2 assists in Manchester United's 52 games, which was so inefficient that it made fans doubt their lives. However, once he put on the Naples jersey, he immediately turned into an "efficiency monster": he scored a single goal in 14 minutes of his debut, and the national team scored a goal in 26 minutes, with a 100% shooting rate, as if he had advanced from a "square-cross" to a "divine striker" overnight.

More ironic is that Manchester United quickly signed Seshko to replace him this summer, and coach Amorin was not even willing to give him one more chance. What's the result? Hoylen is booming in Serie A, but Manchester United's new players are still adapting to the pace of the Premier League.

Is Manchester United's tactical system essentially the "player debuff generator"?

2. Manchester: Is the "black hole" or a "springboard" for top players? The situation in Manchester City is equally subtle. During his time at Manchester City, Gallish never fully realized his £100 million worth, but he immediately regained his core form after being rented out and won the best month directly. Manchester United's Anthony, Rashford and others were also questioned for "high salary and low ability". Once they left the team (or loaned), they frequently slapped their old clubs in the face.

What exactly is the problem?

· Poor tactical compatibility? Manchester United's chaotic team building ideas have caused the player's functions to be distorted;

· Excessive environmental pressure? The spotlight of Manchester City media and the harsh expectations of fans are enough to crush any player with an unstable mentality;

· Internal friction between giants? Dressing room politics, coach changes (Manchester United), management shortsightedness - these are the "invisible killers" that truly devour players' value.

3. Is Serie A the "Manchester United Recycling Bin"? Conte hit the nail on the head!

Naples coach Conte's evaluation of Hoylen is a classic example of slapping Manchester United in the face: "I didn't invent anything out of thin air, it's just based on my performance in training. He quickly integrated, brought experience, and was still very young - my task is to help him grow."

The implication is: It's not that the players are not good, it's that you can't use it!

Serie A has a clear tactical structure and relatively controllable offense and defense rhythm, which is just right for young forwards like Hoylen who need space and trust. Manchester United's "chaotic pressure cooker" model will only amplify the players' weaknesses.

4. The trend of wealthy families leaving: is it a strategy or helplessness?

The Manchester City two heroes have frequently loaned or left players in recent years. It seems to be resource optimization, but in fact it has exposed the failure of the team building plan:

· Manchester United: Crazy signings → Bad performance → hasty sales or renting → Players explode → Regrets (see McTominay and Ellanda);

· Manchester City: Hoarding talents → fierce internal competition → Players run away → Regrets (such as Palmer and Gallish).

In any case, the phenomenon of players breaking out when they leave Manchester has become the sharpest irony for the two giants.

Conclusion:

The sky in Manchester may be blue (Manchester City) or red (Manchester United), but the sky outside here is often golden.

When Hoylen and others slapped their old clubs in Serie A, Premier League and even the national team in the face, should Manchester United and Manchester City reflect: Is it because they "can't use it" or whether the players "really can't do it"?

Perhaps, Manchester has never been a stumbling block to the end—but to some people’s peak.
