Michael Owen makes Jurgen Klopp Man United claim as he aims dig at Erik ten Hag

Michael Owen has claimed that Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp could turn Manchester United around in 'two to three years'.

The former United and Liverpool striker was speaking after the announcement was made that Erik ten Hag would become the next manager at Old Trafford. Ten Hag will be arriving at the Theatre of Dreams at the end of the season and joins from Ajax until 2025.

United have the option of extending his contract by a further year should they wish to. Despite his success in the Netherlands, Owen told The Kelly & Wrighty Show on Optus Sport that he was left underwhelmed by the appointment of Ten Hag and that a certain manager on Merseyside could turn the club around quicker.
