After a 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth, former Manchester United player Michael Owen believes he does not see any encouraging signs for Erik ten Hag’s club.

Dominic Solanke gave United the lead after only five minutes at Old Trafford, and in the second half, Marcos Senesi and Philip Billing added to the suffering for the home squad. Owen has expressed his disappointment with the outcome, saying it will only lead to more criticism of Ten Hag and his team.

“I just can’t see any positives for [United] at this time,” he posted on social media. eliminated from the cup, set to exit the Champions League in the group stage, with no prospect of winning the league, mediocre acquisitions, startling displays, a falling out between the manager and players, a lack of identity on the field, and bad squad choices. This team is not going anywhere, so something has to change. Oh, and we’re going to Anfield after Bayern Munich.”

A midweek victory against Chelsea gave United hope, but the crushing defeat to Bournemouth demonstrates just how inconsistent United has been this season. They had lost to Newcastle and drawn with Galatasaray in their last five games across all competitions, winning only two of them against Everton and Chelsea. They are in for another difficult week with crucial matches against Bayern Munich and Liverpool, which they will play without captain Bruno Fernandes.

To advance to the next round of the Champions League, United must defeat Bayern Munich and hope that Copenhagen and Galatasaray draw. Although supporters are unlikely to feel optimistic with their most recent setback, they might feel slightly more optimistic after watching Bayern lose 5-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.
