Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen has slammed the chances missed by Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes in the English Premier League match against Watford. Twenty-two shots were fired by Manchester United against Watford, but only three of them ended in a goalless draw.
Michael Owen has criticized the Portuguese players for failing to capitalize on some of the team’s golden opportunities. Owen also expressed his disbelief that Ronaldo, who has played 10 games since his birth in 2022 and scored just one goal in them, has gone from being a dangerous goal scorer to a player who misses opportunities.

“It’s hard for me to believe that you can tell me that they will get opportunities and that players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandez will miss a lot of it, because they are two people who are very accurate, especially Ronaldo, who has been efficient and accurate throughout his career before the goal.”
“Of course we expect some youngsters to miss opportunities, but Ronaldo is a player who puts virtually every ball behind the net. It’s weird that they miss a lot of chances. Owen told Premier League production.
Coach Ralph Rankini also expressed his dissatisfaction with the team’s finish in the match. He blamed the team for doing nothing but scoring a goal that Manchester United could have easily won. He also expressed frustration at missing two points in a decisive match without taking advantage of one or two accurate chances in the first half and second half.
