Owen: Manchester United should believe in the process like Arsenal, even though Amorim s record is indeed not good
Michael Owen was interviewed recently and talked about Manchester United and Amorim.
Irving said: "Even if there is no improvement in perception, people need to be invested in the process. There has to be a thought process: OK, the results are not great, but there is something worth working for."
"On the other hand, maybe the results are getting better, but based on certain performances, these results It's a bit of a misnomer. I think Manchester United fans, directors, managers, whoever they are, people need to be impressed. It doesn't have to be that you rise up the league and get into the Champions League. "Arteta is a case in point, if you can see beyond the results. If you make early progress, you'll stick with someone. It's hard to compare this to Manchester United's situation. I mean, honestly, Amorim hasn't shown much improvement. "
"I agree he deserves more time, but when I look at their progress, I can't really sit here and defend it. I think it's embarrassing, I think it's a completely different thing to Arsenal. "
Owen believes that there are three players that Amorin can rely on when trying to turn the situation around. They are captain Bruno Fernandez, as well as summer new aid Mbemo and Cunha, who can solve the team's goal problem.
Irving added: "The hope will be on the newly brought in players to score goals. Scoring goals has been a huge problem for them in recent seasons, so they solved it with a brand new striker."
"Bruno Fernandes is a player who, among the dozens of players who have signed for Manchester United over the years, seems to be one of the few who has not declined in quality as a player. There is a regression."
"Mbemo has obviously proved himself in the Premier League, and so has Cunha. I like Cunha as a player, and I think he can be very good. He is already very good."
"I think the most important thing for Manchester United fans is that they need to create and score goals."
"In terms of defense, they have not brought much change in the backcourt. A lot of players, and United didn't really invest too much at the back in the summer, so I think it's all about trying to score more goals, trying to be more threatening up front. "
Talking about Sheshko, Irving said: "I hate judging him so early in the season. His team may have played seven games, but he did not start all of them. I'd like to see more of his game before I judge him, his defining trait is his size, he does have a powerful presence. "
"The first few games I was thinking, I'm not sure about him, and I shouldn't say that, because you can't judge a guy based on 10 minutes, 15 minutes. He's settled in a bit better now and has scored a few goals. For Sheshko, building confidence is the key. He plays with good players. Let's watch him for 10 or 15 more games and then make a conclusion. "
