Michael Owen has claimed that Manchester United already had the solution to their goals problem before allowing Cristiano Ronaldo to leave for the second time.
United and Ronaldo parted ways last month following that bombshell interview in which the five-time Ballon d'Or winner slammed the club, Erik ten Hag and important figures associated with the club both past and present. As things stand, Ronaldo has yet to find himself a new team and the search for his replacement continues.
One proposed name in that regard, Cody Gakpo, appears set to sign for Liverpool instead with United expecting to utilise the loan market next month. However, when asked to share his thoughts on the Ronaldo saga, Owen said Ten Hag perhaps ought to have played him more.
