Manchester United's problems summed up perfectly by Michael Owen using Liverpool analogy

Premier League legend Michael Owen has slammed Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for his tactics and has cited Liverpool as an example to explain how y can improve. Red Devils suffered a humiliating 2-0 derby defeat at Old Trafford on Saturday.

An own goal from Eric Bailly and a goal from Bernardo Silva was sufficient to help Manchester City claim all three points against ir fiercest rivals. As a result of loss, Ole's side has just won one game in ir last six Premier League matches.

Michael Owen opines on how Manchester United should play

While speaking to Premier League productions after Man Utd vs Man City game, Michael Owen said, "Manchester United have collected a fantastic array of players, but y don’t look like a team whereas Pep Guardiola, whatever team he mans, y've got a distinct style of play." Liverpool legend went on to explain why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side must adopt a formation that suits all ir players.

"y are collecting a load of players. All se great players from around world and y are chopping and changing all time. You’ve got to be able to see furr than end of your se and think this is way we’re going to play matter what. We are going to buy players for se positions and w let’s play this way." Red Devils' performance against ir arch-rivals was a sheer disappointment as y just registered four touches in Manchester City's box despite playing at home, a sort of performance that fans would have never associated with Manchester United under legendary manr Sir Alex Ferguson.

Michael Owen explains why Liverpool are a good example to learn from

Michael Owen, who won Ballon d'Or with Liverpool in 2001, explained how coach Jurgen Klopp transformed his side to one of strongest teams in Premier League. While explaining how Manchester United can change under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Owen said,

"If things go wrong and you concede five against Liverpool you don’t think defence is rubbish. Let’s go and put one more player in re. It’s ridiculous. I go back to what Jurgen Klopp did at Liverpool and he's best exponent at it. He came in and said this is how we’ll play. Our full-backs will bomb forward. We are going to have a sitting midfield and play three up front. It weeds out weak. poor players get weeded out because y get exposed in a formation."

41-year old pundit n explained problem with Ole. Owen said that if Manchester United manr were to see a 'weak player' in his line-up, he would 'cover for him' by putting even more defenders in rar than weeding out weak if y are 't good eugh.' former Liverpool player added that all Red Devils are currently doing 'is covering for weaknesses and looking at next week,' thinking that if match is against a good team, n y will play 'loads of defenders.'

Premier League legend called mentality 'rubbish,' stating that Old Trafford outfit desperately requires a 'long-term plan.' He ended point by stating that weeding 'out rubbish' is only way to get to top once again even if that means y will 'have to go through a bit of pain on way.'
