Manchester United continued their bad form against Crystal Palace on Monday night, losing 4-0 after another disappointing display.
United were outplayed by their host and this has sparked reactions from fans and former players of the Manchester club.
One ex United player who was not pleased with the display was Micheal Owen and he has urged the club to sack Erik ten Hag before their FA Cup final against Manchester City.
According to Owen, United’s display was so dismal that the hierarchy should make an immediate change to try and save what’s left of their season.
“I’ve said it for a long time that Ten Hag is not the right man for this job, I’ve been saying it for ages and ages,” Owen told Premier League Productions after United’s defeat to Palace.
“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’re 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, Newcastle will probably beat them and I wouldn’t even fancy them going to Brighton either. They might not get anything out of the rest of the season, playing like that.
“I just wonder there’s just so much at stake, even if it’s only for four games, I wonder whether the board might just have to try to do something here and now and be quite radical about it.
“He cannot, simply cannot, manage this team next season. He’s not good enough. I’ve thought it for ages, and he’s just not good enough to manage Manchester United.”
The defeat at Crystal Palace might cost United a ace in Europe next season and it’s left to see if Erik ten Hag will be allowed to continue his job.
