What a SHOCK!!
Just after the confirmation that Benzema has choose Madrid instead of ManU, the news broke in.
Michael Owen, once a promising and prodigy of English football sign a two-year contract deal with United.
After Newcastle relegated to the championship football next season, Owen became a free-agent, so there were no fee involve on this transfer. Maybe it was the right gamble for Sir Alex considering the fact that United need replacement for Ronaldo and also Tevez.
Owen, who started his carrerr at United's rival Liverpool, was once a highly rated player after his performance on the 98 World Cup in France when he scored a memorable goal againts Argentina. In 2001, he was also part of Liverpool team that revive back after "long-sleep" including winning the UEFA cup title. In 2004, Owen joined the club that i hated the most today, Real Madrid, with all sort of promises. But injuries and lack of appereance made him a house hold name on the bench, he moved to Newcastle after one season with the Spanish "giant". From 04 to 09, he played for Newcastle 71 times scoring 26 goals on the process, proving that he still got the instinct to score goal. His downside was his injuries, especially after suffering a knee injury on the WC 06. He failed to keep Newcastle on the BPL next season and rumour said that he will joined Hull, before United stole him from them.
So, now Owen will wear the Red of United.
Welcome to OT and please bring us GOALS.
