Former Manchester United and Liverpool striker Michael Owen has said that the Red Devils aren’t just good enough under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Red Devils endured their third league loss in an away game to Newcastle.
United are currently placed 12th with 8 points from 9 games.
“They haven’t got the players, they’re simply not good [enough],” Owen told Premier League Productions.
“That first XI, I’d say there’s three players, maybe four, that should be Manchester United players for the future.”
“If you’re looking to build that club back to where it was, then there’s probably three or four in that first team.”
“Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in his interview afterwards, I was almost slipping down my chair, it was almost like he doesn’t know what’s going wrong, let’s say.”
“We can all speculate as to what’s going wrong. He can look over his shoulder and think ‘down the road you’ve got Jurgen Klopp, you’ve got [Pep] Guardiola – these are managers that are actually improving their players, they’re getting the best out of their squad’.”
“I’m looking at that [United] squad and, if anything, the players are getting worse.”
“They’re devaluing, as a squad, they’re getting worse. Where is it all going to end?”
Manchester United will be back in Premier League action when they face Liverpool next weekend.
