Man United are capable of winning the league title this season, Scholes and Owen claims
The Red Devils’ legends claim with the way Solskjaer’s men have played the team could be on their way to glory
United won their sixth straight away game following their 3-2 win over Sheffield United
Man United are capable of landing the Premier League title this season after winning their sixth consecutive away game, Paul Scholes and Michael Owen claim.
The Red Devils came back from a goal down to beat Sheffield United to move up to sixth on the Premier League table and five points behind leaders Liverpool.
Marcus Rashford scored twice and Anthony Martial added to his tally to earn United all three points at Bramall Lane.
Scholes said:
“If they can keep 9 to 10 players fit for the next 26 games they will be there or thereabouts. They’ve found an exciting way of playing.
“I think (Solskjaer) has changed formations and personnel a lot. For five games (last year) they didn’t change the team,it’s a 4-2-3-1 and it worked.
“It’s a formation that really suits the team. Fernandes in the number 10 role feeding Martial, Rashford and Greenwood. How fantastic is that?”
On the other hand, ex-Premier League winner with United Owen believes Solskjaer should stick with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes in his starting XI.
Owen said:
“They can win the Premier League and the only way they can is by getting their best players on the pitch.
“If you’ve got Pogba and Fernandes in your squad you can’t win the title if they’re sitting on the bench.
“Solskjaer has to keep finding a way of getting Pogba, Fernades and Rashford playing togehter.
