‘What frustrates me more than anything about the Manchester United team is that those centre-halves do nothing during the game,’ Owen said on Premier League Productions.
While Tottenham celebrated their first win in three games following successive cup defeats to Liverpool and Aston Villa and eased some of the pressure on Ange Postecoglou, United have now lost three of their past four games.
Michael Owen took aim at Manchester United’s centre-backs after the defeat to Tottenham and said they ‘literally do nothing’ to contribute to the team.
Tottenham manager Postecoglou, meanwhile, said: ‘Important to win today and important game for us get our league form into some sort of opportunity to improve.
‘The midfield for Manchester United has to be the hardest place to play in the Premier League and the defence should be the easiest because they literally mark no one, ever.
