Manchester United’s Bad Trend not Over, Michael Owen is worried

DBasia.news –  Being defeated in 10 consecutive away games, Manchester United were still unable to resolve the bad trend when they traveled to AZ Alkmaar’s headquarters, Thursday (3/10). Michael Owen, the former Manchester United striker, stated that it was a bad signal. In that match, Man United were only able to get a 0-0 draw from AZ Alkmaar.

Michael Owen, does not dismiss the notion that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team is currently just a ploy team. He even doubted the Red Devils could finish in the top 6 of the Premier League this season.

Manchester United’s poor play when against AZ Alkmaar has made Michael Owen even more pessimistic.

“Yes. I would say they were that bad, “said Michael Owen while serving as a BT Sport pundit, as quoted by Football5Star.com from the Manchester Evening News.  “I don’t even think they will be in the top 6 this season.”

In the eyes of the 2001 Ballon winner, Manchester United this season is very bad. “This is perhaps Manchester United’s worst team in the last few decades. This has been going on for several years, five, six, seven years. We don’t think this will be worse, but in reality it is, “he explained.

In particular, the former England national team player also blamed the steps taken by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He considered the manager had taken the wrong step by releasing Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez, and Chris Smalling. According to him, this has weakened the Red Devils squad.

“He actually knows he can improve the team with these players. However, he prefers to go back two steps and then take a step forward, “said Michael Owen.
