“What on earth are you doing?!” – Liverpool legend lambasts Man United star for ‘stupid’ blunder | OneFootball

Michael Owen wasn’t impressed with Manchester United wingback Noussair Mazraoui who had a torrid afternoon against Bournemouth.

Ruben Amorim’s shaky defenses were picked apart by the Cherries who secured yet another large victory at Old Trafford.

Dean Huijsen beat Joshua Zirkzee in the air to put the visitors ahead with an impeccable header that sailed over the crowd before landing in the far corner. The Red Devils retaliated by launching an onslaught in the final stretch of the first half, but Bruno Fernandes couldn’t place his shots between the posts.

After the break, Bournemouth managed to seal the game by scoring back-to-back goals beginning with Justin Kluivert’s spot-kick. The Dutchman won the penalty himself after being brought down by a reckless tackle from Mazraoui.

Hence, Owen was left wondering what went through the head of the Morocco international, as he didn’t have to commit this challenge in the first place since he had enough cover.

“A little rash? A little stupid more like,” stung the retired striker during his appearance on Premier League Productions (via the Daily Mail).

“What on earth are you doing? Two players are waiting for him, he’s not going to score from there and he dives in”

“Just stay on your feet and usher him away. It’s just a poor, poor decision. The sad thing about Manchester United these days is they go 1-0 down and you never really think they’re going to come back.”

The former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Man United star invites Ruben Amorim to be ruthless in his approach by cutting down those who don’t deserve to play.

‘They’re not a good team. Ruben Amorim needs to be watching that game and ensure these players who are not performing do not put on the shirt again. He needs to be that brutal and that ruthless.’
