Wow! What a shock transfer? Michael Owen has signed for Man U yesterday. He has signed a two year contract with the Red Devils. Well, transferring Michael Owen to MU is also a good move due to the recent departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and the imminent exit of Carlos Tevez.
The transfer is likely to spark much controversy amongst United fans, however, a footballing figurehead such as Sir Alex Ferguson is sure to be unfazed as he looks to rebuild his team.
This is what Owen stated before the signing ceremony, an interview by Zack Wilson, Goal.com;
"This is a fantastic opportunity for me and I intend to seize it with both hands.
"I am now looking forward to being a Manchester United player and I am fortunate that I already know so many of the players here. I missed pre-season last year and am pleased that I will be starting at Carrington from day one.
"I want to thank Sir Alex for the faith he has shown in me and I give him my assurance that I will repay him with my goals and performances."
And this is what he says after the signing ceremony in an interview by Graham Lister, Goal.com;
“It feels great," he said. "I never even had it in my wildest dreams really but then I got the call from the manager to come and meet him.
“It was a shock but I’m obviously really happy and things have moved quickly since then.
"I probably had a poor spell up at Newcastle but prior to that, my career was very good and I’m sure a top club like this can reignite my career.
"Hopefully I can score a few goals and help the team to more success. It’s early days but when you think about United, you automatically think about winning trophies, the stadium, the massive fan base.”
Well, Good Luck & All the best to you Michael Owen.
