Michael Owen ready to join Manchester United
IN a summer when raising as much cash as possible through player sales will be crucial, Newcastle United will today watch record signing Michael Owen join Manchester United.
The 29-year-old, released at the end of last season, will join the Premier League and world champions if he passes a medical today.
After just one goal in 14 appearances during 2009, Owen's departure would not have been mourned on Tyneside as recently as yesterday. But the thought that a manager as well respected as Sir Alex Ferguson can see something in the former Magpies captain that Newcastle proved totally incapable of coaxing out of him last term will infuriate their fans.
