Michael Owen Criticizes Man United’s Poor Performance After 2-0 Loss to Wolves
Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen has criticized his former team after their disappointing 2-0 defeat to Wolves on Boxing Day at Molineux.
Owen was particularly harsh about United’s attacking performance, describing their display as “absolutely awful.”
He noted the lack of fluidity in their play and the absence of creativity in the final third.
The former England international pointed out that the team is struggling to function under manager Ruben Amorim.
“When you look at Manchester United against Wolves, it’s hard to see any sort of coordination,” Owen said on Premier League Productions.
“They’ve got three players marking one at the back, which is something you’d never see from a team like Liverpool.
They go man for man, and if there’s space, they use it to attack.”
Owen went on to emphasize that even if the team wasn’t conceding goals, it would still be a worrying situation, as the overall play just isn’t coming together.
“They’re terrible going forward, and I can’t recall a single meaningful chance they created against Wolves,” he added.
The defeat left Manchester United languishing in 14th place in the Premier League, further adding to the pressure on Amorim’s managerial reign.
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.
