Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson stated that "Liverpool" significantly damaged the career of striker Michael Owen.
According to the coach, the "reds" forced the young player to play matches without breaks, which could have been used for polishing technique and improving skills.
"You can't tire out players of such a young age, as they are still growing and developing physically. I have in mind the example of Owen specifically.
He was not allowed to improve after the marathon of matches with the England youth team when "Liverpool" decided to include the player in the main squad and constantly let him onto the field.
Later, after a grueling season in the club, he still represented the country's main team at the 1998 World Cup and didn't have time to improve his technique," Ferguson said."
