Michael Owen Claims Manchester City is the Ideal Fit for Messi’s Premier League Return
Former Premier League stars Michael Owen, who played for both Liverpool and Manchester United, recently discussed the possibility of Lionel Messi making a move to the English Premier League.
Owen shared his thoughts in an interview with ESPN Argentina, where he explained why he thinks a move to the Premier League would be a good fit for the Argentine football legend.
The former striker emphasized that with Guardiola at the helm, Messi would seamlessly integrate into a team built on precise passing and attacking football.
At 37, Messi’s future has been the subject of much speculation, with numerous reports linking him to a potential Premier League switch.
His contract at Paris Saint-Germain has ended, and he has since moved to Inter Miami, but the idea of him returning to Europe, particularly to England, has continued to fuel rumors.
One such report, from Tuttosport via Hindustan Times, suggests that Guardiola is keen on securing Messi for a six-month loan, hoping to revitalize City’s form after a disappointing series of results.
Manchester City, despite being one of the most successful teams in recent years, has found themselves struggling with just one win in their last 12 matches.
Their latest defeat came at the hands of Aston Villa, who beat them 2-1 in a Premier League clash, adding to their growing list of poor performances.
Owen further mentioned that, despite Messi’s age, his skill set would suit any team in the world.
However, when it comes to Manchester City, he believes there’s no better match.
“It has to be Manchester City,” Owen said. “With Pep, he knows him so well.
They’re a passing team, and Messi is all about that. It would work perfectly.”
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
