Michael Owen claims Manchester United players are getting worse after Newcastle defeat

Michael Owen has claimed that some Manchester United players are getting worse following last weekend's defeat by Newcastle. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has overseen the club’s worst start to a season in 30 years, which has left them sitting 12th in the Premier League table. “They haven’t got the players, they’re simply not good [enough],” Owen told Premier League Productions ( via Manchester Evening News). “That first XI, I’d say there are three players, maybe four, that should be Manchester United players for the future. If you’re looking to build that club back to where it was, then there’s probably three or four in that first team." The former Manchester United and Liverpool striker added: “Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in his interview afterwards, I was almost slipping down my chair, it was almost like he doesn’t know what’s going wrong, let’s say.  We can all speculate as to what’s going wrong. He can look over his shoulder and think ‘down the road you’ve got Jurgen Klopp, you’ve got [Pep] Guardiola - these are managers that are actually improving their players, they’re getting the best out of their squad’. I’m looking at that [United] squad and, if anything, the players are getting worse. They’re devaluing, as a squad, they’re getting worse. Where is it all going to end?” United will be back on Premier League action with a match against Liverpool and the Red Devils enter the game 15 points behind the Reds.
