Michael Owen says it’s ‘embarrassing’ to blame Ruben Amorim’s back-three system for the problems at Manchester United.
Owen agrees with the United boss that pundits criticising Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation might have got into his players’ heads and made them question it.
Several former Red Devils stars, including Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney, have been critical of Amorim's stubbornness not to ditch the system, which has seen United win less than half of their Premier League games this season and crash out of the Carabao Cup to Grimsby Town in the second round on penalties.
