Robbie Savage has hit out at Manchester United by describing them as the most open team he's ever seen.
Following their last three games, United boss Erik ten Hag said that his side could have gained maximum points against Brentford, Chelsea and Liverpool, even though they failed to win any of them.
Speaking on Planet Sport Bet’s podcast ‘On Another Planet,’ the former Premier League midfielder completely disagreed with the Dutchman's suggestion and believes the current side is more open than any other team he's seen in the Premier League—and the club is way off challenging for the title.
“I have never seen a team as open as Manchester United are right now,' Savage said.
"Yes, they’re great on the counter-attack but in terms of the structure, wow, they are the most open team I’ve ever seen. To concede 28 shots in that game against Liverpool is remarkable! There are some huge decisions to be made at Manchester United. This current team are a number of years away from being able to challenge for a Premier League title because of the lack of structure and how open they are as a team.
“Erik ten Hag has said that they could’ve had nine points from their last three games against Brentford, Chelsea and Liverpool. Factually that is correct because they were leading in all three of those games and conceded late. However factually correct it is, the reality is that they should’ve been 3-0 down against Brentford and Chelsea and Liverpool should’ve been four up. Realistically their opposition should already have been out of sight, so they actually could’ve ended up with zero points from those games instead of two!
“Sunday’s game between Liverpool and Manchester United will go down as a massive missed opportunity for Liverpool. They had 15 shots in the first half to United’s zero and they really should’ve been four or five goals up. United showed good character in the second half to go 2-1 up in the second half before Mohamed Salah got the equaliser.”
