Man Utd: Solskjaer ‘got his tactics right’ claims pundit
Michael Owen does not think Manchester United can remain a counter-attacking team. United have won their last two Premier League games against the odds, beating Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham and local rivals Manchester City. Despite winning, United had less possession than their opponents in both of those matches and instead chose to play on the break, especially against City.

“They can’t just be a counter-attacking team.
“I’m talking about the majority of games, most of the games at home, say 15 games at home they’re going to be playing in the Premier League against teams who are inferior to them.
“They can’t play like that, they can’t not have the ball for the majority of time.
“If you’re progressing forward you need the ball more.”
