Owen stressed the significance of upcoming matches, including a crucial cup final and European football qualification, urging the club to take decisive action. He criticized Ten Hag’s managerial competence, foreseeing further defeats if he remains in charge. Scholes concurred with Owen, likening the defeat to a pivotal moment reminiscent of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s final match as manager.
