Juan Mata and Robin van Persie BLASTED over Manchester United displays I don’t think any of the strikers are performing,” Owen told BT Sport. “Robin van Persie has gone quiet, he’s scored the odd goal, but he’s not the player he was over the past few years. “I don’t necessarily blame the strikers as Manchester United aren’t creating loads and loads of chances. “They are not functioning as a team and if you don’t function as a team, and your strikers and midfielders aren’t working hard then you’ll concede goals – it’s not just about the defence. “The likes of Mata and Van Persie need to start doing more. Mata’s had a half-decent season, but I wouldn’t say I’m his biggest fan. “Ashley Young has been really good and done well when he’s played wing back, he’s unlucky not to get in the team, but it’s not very balanced at the moment.” [Express]
