Michael Owen slams Manchester United for their 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, calling them 'not a good team' and urging manager Ruben Amorim to take a hardline approach.
Former Man Utd striker Michael Owen insists the Red Devils are just “not a good team” and urges Ruben Amorim to get “brutal” after their 3-0 loss to Bournemouth . The Red Devils went behind after 29 minutes when Spain Under-21 international Dean Huijsen glanced a header past Andre Onana to put Bournemouth ahead. Man Utd capitulated in two second half minutes with Justin Kluivert scoring from the penalty spot before Antoine Semenyo added a third for the Cherries.
Amorim is struggling to find consistency in performances and results, much like his recent predecessors, with Man Utd co-owners INEOS weighing up whether to back the Portuguese head coach in January or wait until the summer. Noussair Mazroaui, who has been one of the more successful summer signings at Old Trafford this season, gave away the penalty and former striker Owen criticised the Man Utd defender and the team.“What on earth are you doing? Two players are waiting for him, he’s not going to score from there and he dives in.“The sad thing from Manchester United these days is they go 1-0 down and you never really think they’re going to come back. “They’re not a good team. Ruben Amorim needs to be watching that game and ensure these players that are not performing do not put on the shirt again. He needs to be that brutal and that ruthless.”Man Utd boss Amorim was careful not to be too critical of his players after the defeat to Bournemouth and focused on the positives at Old Trafford on Sunday.“We were winning second balls and creating chances. We conceded a penalty and then the third goal. It was really hard for the fans. We have to go again next game. “We have a lot of situations where they managed to score a little bit similar to Tottenham. It’s really hard on everyone in the stadium. We have to fight this moment. “We have to maintain the calm when you suffer a goal. It was similar in the last match. The players need to understand the game has different moment
