MUFC Can Win The EPL In One Or Two Years – Owen

Manchester United can win the English Premier League title in one or two years, Michael Owen has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even though people believe MUFC are miles away from winning another EPL title, he genuinely thinks a good summer transfer window can make it happen in 2 years.

Owen added that he expects the Red Devils to get it right eventually because the club has been underperforming for too long.

His words, “Even though they are doing really well, it’s not just what can you add to this team to make it have a chance of winning something. We all know Casemiro is leaving. We all think they need players still. There is also the question mark about Bruno Fernandes and whether he will stay. It could be that this team, this summer, still has a fair bit of surgery on it. It’s hard to say.

In its current guise, the current team and the way they are playing at the moment, they could end up being second or third in the league at the end of the season. If the league started tomorrow, you couldn’t rule them out of having a real fighting chance of challenging for the league – the way they are playing, the way Liverpool are playing, the way City are playing. In general, their seasons have been pretty poor and it’s going to be a low points total winning the league this season. You couldn’t rule it out the way they are playing at the moment.

They probably still need one or two players. And if they lose Casemiro and maybe even Fernandes, they are two really important players. There is all the balance of bringing age down etc. It’s incredible.

I’ve said it to loads of people, Manchester United – even when they were in the doldrums – it will turn and once it turns, it might take another year, it might take two months, someone will get it right. It is too much of a juggernaut to keep underperforming and when it turns, it will gather pace like no tomorrow. That could happen.

People think they are miles away, well if they keep doing what they are doing and have a good summer behind them, they might not be miles away and it might only take a year or two to win a league – rather than five, six, seven years like some people are predicting.

It’s fascinating at the moment. While they have got the momentum, I would advise to keep rolling with it. You want to change the manager and things now? Wow, you are asking for trouble after all those years.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
