Too many players are “regressing” when joining Manchester United, says Michael Owen, with Alexis Sanchez held up as an example of a club where “something’s going fundamentally wrong”.
The Red Devils have continued to spend heavily in recent transfer windows, but have seen little return on that investment.
Owen admits expensive flops have become an all too familiar story for United, with serious issues needing to be addressed before more funds are thrown at apparent quick fixes.
The former Red Devils striker told Premier League Productions: “I think players are turning up there and regressing as football players.
“I think that’s the most worrying aspect of it all.
“We can all sit here and agree or disagree, Alexis Sanchez was the best player in the Premier League for two, three seasons.
“I think we’d all agree that, he was brilliant. How can you go from that level to being so bad like that?
