Former Manchester United striker, Michael Owen, has begged the management of the Club to quickly sack the present, Erik ten Hag. Owen pointed that the manager was not the right coach for the club.
Recall that Manchester United are experiencing one of their worse season. The Man United woes were compound with their worst defeat this season against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The Nigerian international, Michael Olise shun in the match with goals for the Palace.
Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell added to United’s woes, as Ten Hag’s side faltered.
The loss at Selhurst Park leaves United languishing in eighth place. Thereby, facing their lowest-ever Premier League finish in a decade.
With the loss, Chelsea Football Club has overtaken Man United on the 7th position.
But Owen among other critics are insisting that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS must bring in a new manager before next season.
The former England national team player emphasize Ten Hag’s unsuitability for the job. Owen, therefore, stressed the need for a managerial change.
Owen made this disclosure on Premier League Production, where he predicted a dire future for Man U under Ten Hag. He, therefore, foresee a heavy defeat coming against Manchester City and Arsenal.
“I have said it for a long time that Ten Hag is not the right man for this job. I have been saying it for ages and ages,” Owen said.
“He cannot, simply cannot, manage the team next season.
“I almost wonder now, they’ve got a cup final and they’ve got a few important games that could mean European football next year or not.
“At some point you’ve got to make a decision. They are going to get absolutely hammered by Manchester City in the FA Cup final. They’re going to get annihilated. In fact, Arsenal will smash them to bits at Old Trafford,” Owen stressed.
