I am very surprise after reading the news. After losing Karim Benzema ..then Manutd almost in a brink to sign Micheal Owen?? Its hard to relate between those 2 players. But…if Manutd can confirm the signing of Owen..then its only mean that next season will be a different ball game for Manutd.

This is not the first time Sir Alex doing a strange signing. When he signed Eric Cantona..its weird. Then..he signed Laurent Blanc is another shock signing. When his young striker cannot perform well, he signed Henrik Larrson for only 3 months and its bring the title to United. Some signing proves as Sir Alex masterpieces but another..a big flop. The mother of all masterpiece signing is Cristiano Ronaldo as United number 7. Bringing the unknown..give him number 7 and he end up as Best Player in the World.

I have read some Manutd blog and most them don’t want to accept Owen at Manutd. But….for me.. this is a good signing. I would love to see Owen as the Red Devil.I don’t care about him as ex-Liverpool captain and what he said about Manutd before as long as he can score goal for United.

Furthermore, if he performed well next season and help United win 19th title…I can give a big laugh to my fellow Liverpool’s fan. Hahaha. But if he didn’t perform…there are nothing to lose. We get him for FREE!!

MICHAEL Owen will sign for Manchester United on a free transfer today, provided he passes a medical – an astonishing turnaround in fortunes for the striker who was relegated with Newcastle United only weeks ago.

On top of the prospect of winning medals with the Premiership champions at Old Trafford, the chance to pair up with Wayne Rooney will give Owen hope he can revitalise his England career.

He has been exiled by Fabio Capello, the head coach, but England is short of proven strikers with the World Cup finals less than 12 months away, and Owen could force his way back into the reckoning if he succeeds at United.

Owen, 29, joined the unemployed on Wednesday, when his contract at Newcastle expired, and his agents were so concerned about the lack of interest they sent a brochure to Premier League managers setting out his strengths.

Liverpool, his former club, was among those that showed no interest, despite being approached by Owen’s agent, Tony Stephens. And two days earlier Sam Allardyce had said a deal would be too risky for Blackburn Rovers because of Owen’s injury record.

But Alex Ferguson has decided it is a gamble worth taking, and one with minimal downside, given that Owen joins as a free agent.

Ferguson is hopeful Owen’s big-match temperament will yield a glut of goals at Old Trafford.

There are something in Sir Alex Ferguson minds right now that we don’t know. I hope he doing it right this time!!
