Well what a surprise this one is and where on earth did it come from?! Michael Owen is reportedly carrying out a, and I quote, 'stringent' medical ahead of a proposed move to...wait for it...Manchester United!Having lost Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo already this summer, it would be fair to say that the signings of Antonio Valencia and Michael Owen will hardly get pulses racing amongst the Old Trafford faithful.
Then again, how can fans possibly question the judgement of their long-serving manager given the unprescedented success he has achieved during his reign in Manchester.
While Owen has effectively struggled to reignite his career since leaving Liverpool to join Real Madrid, a free-transfer, pay-as-you-play package will suit both parties with a World Cup year on the horizon.
As long as he passes the said medical (which I would guess is by no means a formality given his injury problems of the past), I say good luck to you Michael and I hope you prove all your doubters wrong.
