    Bit embarrasing for a player that once had the world at his feet to know have to send out a brochure to mediocre clubs for a job!!!

    He can clean Stevie's boots if he likes. :)

    I think he'd be a good signing for clubs outside the big 4 if he signed on a 'pay as you play' contract and lowered his wage demands. He has alot of top flight experience even if he has lost pace. Clubs could do alot worse.

    I honestly think Micheal should send a brochure to slur alex, with all the scums main targets dissapearing rapid he could be in with a shout there, he might even be their best chance to sign a big name player this season :)

    Never took to him to be honest, good goal scorer but England was number 1 after WC 98.

    If he moves to the tramps though, any goal he scored is wiped from my memory:mad::mad::mad:

    Michael Owen joins Manchester United - The Telegraph website.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...623/Michael-Owen-joins-Manchester-United.html

    The Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, was poised make an astonishing move in the transfer market by bringing injury-prone striker Michael Owen to Old Trafford on a free transfer.

    Reliable sources have confirmed to Telegraph Sport that Owen is on the brink of joining the Premier League champions after becoming a free agent when his contract at Newcastle expired on Tuesday.

    Details of the prospective deal are scarce but it is anticipated that Owen, 29, would sign a highly incentivised deal due to his worrying problems with injuries over the last four years at St James' Park where he was paid £115,000 per week.

    Owen, who will be ready to accept a dramatic drop in wages, has already attracted public declarations of interest from Stoke and Hull while Tottenham and Portsmouth are also understood to be keen on securing the services of a striker who has fallen from grace during his time on Tyneside.

    Despite his strong links with United's arch-rivals Liverpool, Owen would welcome a move to United because it would give him the chance to prove himself at Champions League level and also bolster his chances of regaining his place in England head coach Fabio Capello's plans for next summer's World Cup finals.

    Due to his fitness problems, the recruitment of Owen would seem to represent a gamble for Ferguson but concerns over his durability will be offset by the chance to hire him on a free transfer.

    Should Owen join United - where he would also get the chance to team up with England striker Wayne Rooney - he would plug one of the gaps in the United ranks cause by the departure of two of Ferguson's so-called 'Fab Four' in the shape of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.

    It would allay the fears for United supporters in what is shaping up to be a worrying summer for the club who have lost out to Real Madrid in the race for Lyon striker Karem Benzema but have signed right-winger Antonio Valencia from Wigan for £16 million.

    The former Manchester United and England skipper, Bryan Robson, is confident that Owen can still prosper in the upper echelons of the game despite his recent problems since his £17-million move to Newcastle from Real Madrid.

    "Michael is a natural goal-scorer and natural goalscorers who can do the business at the highest level are few and far between," Robson told Telegraph Sport in a recent interview.

    "I definitely think that he is capable of being a Champions League striker because he's only 29 and he has still plenty of good years left in him yet."

    wonder how he will get on with whiskeynose and his disdain for internationals.
    Owen wants to be back in the england team and wants first team football,cant see him getting either of that with the scum.

    I didnt begrudge him his move to Madrid,i was pissed he didnt give Rafa a chance or time to find a replacement but tbh i hope he fails miserably as he is now a United player and i wish no good fortune on any of them.

    Still hold the good memories about Owen from his time with us,wished he cared more about us than England at the time and imo he is no Torres:D

    Still funny though,player leaves for 80m and they replace him with an injury prone paceless former wonderkid:D

    Not too bothered about Owen anymore in general but he'd still an ex-red playing for the mancs, its just not right. Doesn't matter he goes to old trafford in the back of an ambulance, he'll still have gone there. Another kick in the teeth for the fans of the club that made the fcuker.

    Don't like to wish injury on a player but if does he go there.... ..Pointless anyway with him being mr. glass and all, like praying for rain in an a irish summer.

    Good call CHARMAC (have you any other good tips for the bookies? :)). Linked with Hull only last week and now on the brink of joining united. I'm not too bothered really. He was a quality player on his day but I can't ever see him reaching those highs again.

    I have to be honest & say i did`nt take it as hard as some the 1st time round.
    Wished him the best & what not but if this goes through i will have lost all respect for the chap my opinion is slowly changing on the guy can understand now why so many dislike what he did the 1st time. To me leaving L.F.C & going abroad is ok but going to the scum is a different kettle of fish altogether.:mad:
