M.Owen: "No one is afraid of the 'Man Utd' club"

Although "Man Utd" managed to advance to the Champions League knockout stages, according to former club striker Michael Owen, nobody in Europe fears the Manchester team anymore.

"It's really unfortunate that group winners will try to avoid clubs like Madrid's Atletico or Liverpool, while Man Utd is not the same as it was years ago.

For a long time, the club has become a mere shadow of its former self. If they were to play next week, I think they could overcome the Porto team, but I would be very, very worried if they had to play against another club.

A positive thing is that "Man Utd" has a few months to reshape the squad," Owen reassured.

The Champions League knockout pairings will be announced on December 17th in Nyon.
