Michael Owen criticised again for boring commentary as Manchester United beat Shrewsbury

BT Sport commentator is rarely praised

(BT Sport)

The only surprise is that it took until the 75th minute to become a top trend on social media.

Michael Owen, once again, was heavily criticised for his "boring" commentary as Manchester United faced Shrewsbury Town in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The former Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle United and Manchester United striker often falls foul of users on social media.

His name has often become a top trend because of his bland commentary style.

Owen's critics were once again out in force on Monday night as Louis van Gaal's team cruised to a 3-0 win over Shrewsbury at New Meadow.

Captain for the night Chris Smalling opened the scoring with a scrappy goal, before Juan Mata made it 2-0 before half-time with a wonderful free-kick.

Owen was not impressed with the goal, however, as three Manchester United appeared to block the view of goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler.

Jesse Lingard then finsihed off the scoring with a smart finish following some neat build-up play.

But while the football was impressive, if unremarkable, from the Premier League side, Owen was again the talk of the town.
