Michael Owen slams Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s ‘negative’ tactics after Leeds United draw

 Following Manchester United's 0-0 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road, former Manchester United forward Michael Owen slammed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for his "negative" tactics. 

In an enthralling match in early December, Solskjaer's side defeated their opponents 6-2, but it was a game with little chances in Yorkshire.

‘I was dissatisfied with the squad that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer chose,' Owen admitted to Premier League Productions. 

'I thought it was a pretty pessimistic band.'

Solskjaer chose to start Paul Pogba and Edinson Cavani on the bench, with the pair coming on with around 20 minutes remaining. 

The decision was taken with Thursday's Europa League semi-final against Roma in mind, with United hosting the Serie A giants at Old Trafford before the second leg in the Italian capital.
