“Performances haven’t been good” – Michael Owen makes bold prediction for Manchester United vs Aston Villa

“Performances haven’t been good” – Michael Owen makes bold prediction for Manchester United vs Aston Villa.

Former Liverpool striker, Michael Owen has tipped Aston Villa to come out victorious over Manchester United in the FA Cup on Monday.

Manchester United will be facing Aston Villa on Monday after a disappointing 1-0 loss to Wolves on the 3 January.

Manchester United have won just one of their last three games in all competitions and have produced a number of moderate performances in recent weeks.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, have looked impressive since Steven Gerrard took over the reins at the club on 11 November.

Michael Owen believes Manchester United could struggle against Aston Villa as Steven Gerrard is likely to field his strongest XI against Ralf Rangnick’s side.

“He’s [Ralf Rangnick] only been in the job for a short time, but pressure is on Ralf Rangnick. Performances haven’t been good, and the club is desperate to win some silverware.

“Villa will be up for this and there’s no way Steven Gerrard will play a weakened side here. United might, and I can see Villa edging this,” Michael Owen told BetVictor.

Manchester United have lacked unity and cohesion in the attack under the management of Ralf Rangnick.

They have managed to score just six goals in six games in all competitions since the interim coach Ralf Rangnick was appointed as United’s boss until the end of the season.
