Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen has
questioned the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Owen, who spent three seasons at Old Trafford, says
United's latest No 9 is little more than a fill-in.
Talking whilst on punditry duties for BT Sport, Owen said:
"He's definitely a stopgap striker, isn't he? He's good but
we're talking Manchester United , you need to be one of the
best strikers in the world to be the regular striker here.
" Jose Mourinho didn't think the current crop were ready
[when he arrived]. Rashford: not ready; Wayne Rooney :
probably saw him as a No 10; Martial: didn't see him as a
striker. So [Zlatan] is a stopgap.
"A little bit like a few seasons ago when Robin van Persie
was just brought for the one or two seasons while we
maybe they can find someone else on the market or some
young kid can come through."
