Gowling played for both United and Bolton during career which stretched over fifteen years and is currently a regular summariser for BBC GMR radio. He feels United haven't hit top form yet this season and expects the in form Wanderers to fully take advantage of that when the two sides face one another.
"Bolton haven’t had a bad start to the season and I think they could take the three points on Saturday, It’s probably the best opportunity they’ll have anyway." he told ManUtd.com
"I don’t think United are firing on all cylinders at the moment and Sir Alex hasn’t yet got his full squad ready with the likes of van Nistelrooy missing.
"I know they’ve created a lot of chances in the games they’ve played so far this season, but they’ve not been able to convert them. So I think Bolton will have a good chance on Saturday."
