Michael Owen made a bold forecast for how long Manchester United will return to fight for the championship in the English Premier League. According to Volodar of the Golden Ball, the team can win the title in just one or two years if they preserve the current momentum and conduct the summer transfer campaign correctly.

Michael Carrick takes over the team as head of the obligatory duties, replacing Ruben Amorim (the Portuguese lost his seat at the beginning of 2026 Rock). Under Carrick's leadership, Manchester United won four matches in a row and quickly went six points clear of the other place, which turned the optimism around Old Trafford.

In an interview with GOAL, Owen noted that, despite the positive dynamics, the team's composition will require serious changes in the coming summer.

" We know that Casemiro is coming. Eating food for Bruno Fernandes - or losing wine. “Perhaps the warehouse will recognize significant changes,” said Owen.

The expert said that the key staff will need to rejuvenate the warehouse and replace leaders if they leave the club. However, we do not agree with the pessimists who are prophesying future crises for United.

" If you continue to work those who work, and have a good summer, then, perhaps, before winning the climb, you will lose only two rivers, and not five or six rivers, as someone predicts.

Manchester United is a machine that needs to be pushed too hard to consistently perform below its capabilities. If the situation changes, the stench of mittevo wrappers will pick up,” said Michael.

Owen also pleased the club not to rush to change the coach, depending on Carrick’s success, and even though the team desperately needs stability.
