admin Manchester City are likely to wipe the floor with Manchester United when they face their rivals in the FA Cup final later this month, according to Michael Owen.
The former England international says the Red Devils are in no position to beat anyone at the moment after a very poor performance against Crystal Palace on Monday evening:
“They’re going to get absolutely hammered by Manchester City. They’re going to get annihilated. In fact, Arsenal will smash them to bits at Old Trafford. Newcastle will probably beat them and I wouldn’t even fancy them going to Brighton either.”
“They might not get anything out of the rest of the season if they’re playing like that.”
City cannot afford to be complacent
