Owen Urges Man United to Reconsider Hojlund Role

Rasmus Hojlund
April 2026

Michael Owen has urged Manchester United to give Rasmus Hojlund another chance, arguing the striker was previously judged in a dysfunctional system and could thrive under the improved structure implemented by Michael Carrick. Hojlund struggled during a poor team phase before moving on loan, but Owen believes United’s current fluid style, highlighted by Benjamin Sesko’s form, could better support him, suggesting past failures were due to lack of service rather than ability.

Owen Warns Newcastle Against Mourinho Gamble and Backs Howe

Jose Mourinho
April 2026

Michael Owen says talk of replacing Eddie Howe with Jose Mourinho makes no sense and has warned Newcastle to be very careful about turning on a manager who has already delivered major progress and silverware. Owen said Howe remains one of the best managers in the league and that one underwhelming season should not erase a Carabao Cup win and recent Champions League qualification. He argued Newcastle could regret it badly if they push Howe out and watch him succeed elsewhere.

Owen Says United Can Win the League Within “One or Two Years”

Owen predicts United could be back challenging for the league in one or two years, pointing to improved performances under Carrick and a summer rebuild that could accelerate the timeline. He notes the title has not returned since Ferguson left in 2013. Owen says United still need “surgery” in the squad, with Casemiro expected to leave and uncertainty around Fernandes. He argues the current league season looks set for a low winning points total, so a well-run summer window could turn United into a real contender quickly.

Owen argues United should not automatically chase a big-name coach if Carrick keeps this level and delivers Champions League qualification. He says the performances look more stable and confident than anything United have shown in years. His view is that United have tried every manager profile for over a decade, and replacing a working interim solution risks repeating the same cycle. He frames Carrick’s fit, calm control, and player buy-in as reasons to commit if results hold.

Michael Owen Warns Real and Barca Off Harry Kane Move

Harry Kane
January 2026

Michael Owen says Barcelona and Real Madrid should avoid signing Harry Kane despite a reported £57m release clause, arguing the deal would be short-term and poor value given Kane’s age. Owen claims elite moves need perfect timing and demand. He suggests Kane’s options are narrower now, and buying him would be for immediate impact only, with limited years of top output to justify the cost.

Salah slump sparks dressing-room concern

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
October 2025

Benched in Frankfurt, Salah stormed down the tunnel and scrubbed Liverpool from his social bios. Michael Owen blames disruption on Liverpool’s right after arrivals of Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak under Arne Slot. Liverpool want recalibrated roles, restored shot volume, and renewed chemistry to re-ignite Salah’s form.
