Manchester United legend Michael Owen has delivered a harsh verdict on three players following their dismal display against Tottenham Hotspur, declaring they no longer deserve to represent the club. His candid remarks came during his analysis on Sky Sports, where he expressed frustration over the team’s uninspiring performance. Owen criticized their lack of passion and commitment, stating that wearing the Manchester United shirt demands excellence and dedication—qualities he felt the trio completely lacked.
Despite stopping short of naming them on-air, reports from sources within the club identified the underperforming players as [Player A], [Player B], and [Player C]. Their errors were pivotal in United’s embarrassing defeat, from defensive lapses to poor decision-making in attack. The loss, which exposed weaknesses in every area of the pitch, left fans disheartened, with many joining Owen in calling for drastic changes. Social media quickly erupted with reactions, as #GloriousShirt trended with fans demanding the club part ways with those who failed to deliver on the pitch.
However, some supporters felt Owen’s comments were overly harsh, arguing that the club’s struggles stem from deeper tactical issues under manager Rúben Amorim. The pressure on Amorim is now mounting, with reports suggesting he will meet with the board to address the squad’s failings and consider potential January transfers.
Owen concluded his fiery critique with a call for accountability, insisting that players who cannot meet the club’s high standards should be shown the door. With the transfer window approaching, the futures of the three underperformers hang in the balance, leaving fans eager to see how the club will respond to this public challenge from a legend.
