According to former United player Michael Owen, he said on BT sport “i feel all that money that have been invested on the team, it’s a worse squad than it was 18 months ago. We are looking at the players LVG has let go in his reign, in the last 18 months. I’m sure the team we put together would beat the team tonight.”

“Rafael, Nemanja Vidic, Johnny Evans and Patrice Evra as the back four, Shinji Kagawa, Tom Cleverly, Nani, Van Persie, Chicharito – we thought there were only two players from tonight’s team who would get into the eleven he let go; Chris Smalling and Michael Carrick“.

“Apart from that, the players he has let go are quite better than the players he has got tonight, even after all that investments.”

Other players who have left under LVG includes; Wilfred Zaha, Danny Welbeck, Darren Fletcher, Angel Di Maria, Adnan Januzaj(loan), James Wilson(loan), among others.

Is Michael Owen right?
