Michael Owen going to Manchester United?
There is a report by the website, www.independent.ie, that Michael Owen might go to Manchester United on a free transfer. His signup with MU is with the condition that Owen can prove that he is truly fit.
Michael is without a club since his contract ended with relegated Newcastle end of June 2009.
I for one would like to see Owen be given a chance to be what he used to be, a striker that produces goals. It will be sad if he ended up with some lowly Premier League club. Eveyone believe Michael Owen thrived in the spotlight with clubs that are top flight.

Manchester United is 2009 Premier Champion
Manchester United have won the Barclays Premier League title after a goalless draw with Arsenal.
The point gained means nearest challengers Liverpool cannot catch United who have one fixture left to play.
In a lacklustre first half, Robin van Persie went close for the Gunners and Wayne Rooney headed off target for United.
Cristiano Ronaldo went closer to scoring after the break with a free-kick while Cesc Fabregas smacked the post.
However, United only needed a draw to clinch their 11th Premier League crown and celebrated wildly at the final whistle.

Ryan Giggs says he will never leave United
The newly-crowned PFA Player of the Year made his 800th Red Devils appearance in Wednesday’s Champions League win over Arsenal.
With Middlesbrough to come in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday before next Tuesday’s return leg at the Emirates Stadium, Giggs know he will be used sparingly by Sir Alex Ferguson as he tries to get the most out of his squad.
For Giggs, an 11th league championship medal and third Champions League gong are on the horizon – proof of the value of being a one-club man, when the club is as successful as United.
There was a time when the former Wales skipper was linked with a move abroad, most notably with Inter Milan. However, Giggs did not consider the prospect and it was never remotely close.
“It was never a consideration to leave,” he said. “I was linked with a few clubs but it was never really close. Why would I think about it when I was always happy here?” – EPL

Mighty Manchester United brought down to earth
Mighty Man U was brought down to earth when Liverpool played themselves back into Premier League contention with a resounding 4-1 win at Old Trafford in Saturday’s early game. Although Manchester United remain four points clear with a game in hand and superior goal difference, they are now under slightly more pressure in one of the three remaining competitions they are seeking to win.
United shaded a relatively open quarter and took the lead on 23 minutes. Carlos Tevez threaded a pass through to Ji-Sung Park, deep into the Liverpool penalty area, and Park’s touch took him beyond goalkeeper Jose Reina, although away from goal. Committed to the tackle, Reina brought Park down and was beaten to his right from Cristiano Ronaldo’s subsequent penalty.
United sought to press home their advantage, but Fernando Torres took advantage of a glaring error by Nemanja Vidic and equalised with 28 minutes gone. In the penultimate minute of the first half, Liverpool were ahead, Patrice Evra misjudging a crossfield ball, pulling down the passing Steven Gerrard who converted the resultant penalty.
Although United were on top for the first half of the second period they rarely threatened to score, and the game was effectively ended after 77 minutes. Vidic, enduring the definitive nightmare afternoon, hacked down Gerrard who would have been clear on goal and after receiving a red card had to watch as Fabio Aurelio whacked in a free kick for 3-1. There was still time for United to be caught again as they chased the game with ten men, and Andrea Dossena compounded their misery with a deft chip over Van der Sar after a long, straight punt from Reina had inexcusably evaded their entire back four.
