This comes after the Red Devils lost to Tottenham 1-0, which was their 12th loss in the Premier League this season. The defeat eased some pressure on Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou. During the game, some United players, especially Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, didn’t play well.
What’s surprising is how well some former Manchester United players are doing on loan. Marcus Rashford has made a big impact at Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Antony is shining with Real Betis, scoring for the third match in a row and getting another man of the match award. It seems that players often struggle at Manchester United but then find their form at other teams.
The Culture Problem
Owen thinks the club’s culture is a key reason players struggle. He said Manchester United can sap players’ confidence. Because of this, even talented players don’t play to their potential. He noted that the club tends to sign players who seem promising but then they often don’t perform well after joining. Great players turn bad here, Owen said. He also mentioned that younger players find it tough to thrive in a team that is low on confidence and keeps changing coaches.
Pressure on Players
Owen pointed out that fans are getting frustrated. If fans could see any progress, they might be more patient. But with no improvement, the pressure on players just grows. If Man United fans could see progression, they’d be patient, but it feels like it’s getting worse, he said. His comments show a real worry for the club’s future.
Dimitar Berbatov’s Take
Dimitar Berbatov, who played with Owen at United, shares similar thoughts. He’s puzzled about why big-name signings fail at the club. It makes you wonder why this happens, he said. Good players come in, and then they don’t perform. But when they go on loan, they suddenly play well again.
Both Owen and Berbatov’s views point to a bigger problem at Manchester United. The culture might be holding players back instead of helping them. Even with the club’s rich history and funding, the current situation doesn’t seem to support success. Many are left wondering what’s next for the Red Devils. The Red Devils’ Departed Stars.
