Owen Hargreaves blasts ‘mad’ Manchester United transfer decision after Southampton win

Owen Hargreaves has describe Manchester United’s decision to listen to loan offers for Marcus Rashford as ‘madness’ and has also urge the club to keep Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.

Rashford has made it clear คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย that he is keen to leave United in order to find a ‘new challenge’ and the 27-year-old has attracted interest from several clubs across Europe, including Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan.

However, Rashford’s £325,000-a-week salary is a major hurdle and United are understood to be. Asking clubs to contribute at last half of that figure in order to sign the forward on loan this month.

Hargreaves, however, believes Rashford’s departure would be a ‘huge blow’ and feels the forward should still have a key role to play under Ruben Amorim.

Speaking after United’s 3-1 win over Southampton on Thursday evening, Hargreaves urged United to prioritise midfield and attacking reinforcements in the next two transfer windows and has questione whether Amorim’s system will help the team dominate games.

I don’t know if anybody wants to play counter-attacking style, especially not Manchester United,. You’re meant to play on the front foot, you’re meant to dominate the ball,. Hargreaves told Premier League Productions.

‘That’s why Erik ten Hag got the job because he playe this. Ajax way, they dominate the ball, that’s why they got rid of. David de Gea to get [Andre] Onana, to get a ball-playing goalkeeper.

‘But that didn’t materialise, United were best on the counter attack. Ten Hag’s best performance were on the counter-attack, like under Ole Gunnar [Solskjaer].

‘If you look at United under Amorim against Liverpool, Arsenal, City, where are they good – counter-attack. I think when you play with two central midfield players, they ende up with [Toby] Collyer and. Bruno Fernandes, you’re not going to dominate the ball, and that’s against a team who are 20th in the Premier League.

I do think it is a work in progress on many levels, goalkeeper is set, defensively they’re not bad. But they need work in the middle of the pitch and they need to sort the striker position out.

‘But obviously losing Marcus Rashford could be a huge blow, talk about Garnacho potentially leaving, that’s a worry.’
