Manchester United were imperious against Leeds last weekend.
United made a flying start and went 2-0 up in three minutes, with Scott McTominay pocketing a double.
And United would go into halftime with a 4-1 lead after more goals from Bruno Fernandes and Victor Lindelof.
Second-half goals from Fernandes and Daniel James gave United a massive 6-2 victory over their rivals.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gave some surprises with the selection of his team.
Paul Pogba has been playing well in recent weeks, but he was left on the bench, with McTominay and Fred forming a partnership in midfield.
James was also in the starting lineup despite not playing regularly this season.
And Michael Owen wasn’t very impressed when he saw the United line-up.
“I’m in awe of the team, I must admit,” Owen said before the game at Premier League Productions.
“In particular, Paul Pogba as a substitute. I was there watching him mid-week against Sheffield United and he was absolutely brilliant.
“I can’t help but look at that team and think, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stopped thinking about this one.
“Daniel James has come from who knows where, I mean he hasn’t even been hired in the last few weeks, so he’s been almost miles away.
“I understand Greenwood because they rotate and rest and things like that, but I can only think that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is very concerned about Leeds counterattack.
“And he left with two sitting midfielders, at home, when he dispensed with it the other day and they looked electric in the future.
“I’m in awe that Pogba isn’t playing to begin with and it really amazes me that they signed Daniel James.”
He continued: “You are not going to win the league if you are going to keep playing against McTominay, Fred, James …”
It’s fair to say that Owen’s comments were massively counterproductive.
McTominay went on to score twice in the first three minutes.
Fred had another good game in midfield and James capped a spirited performance with a goal.
United fans have been mocking Owen for his comments on Twitter.
