Excellent Old Trafford sources indicate a collaborator-in-chief of the current regime has confirmed United are making moves to sign Michael Owen from Real Madrid.
At this stage the source has made no mention of Van Nistelrooy going to Spain in exchange, however BackBeat's information indicated in April that this is the most likely scenario should such an eventuality come to pass.
RI 89 reported:
A Forumista writes: “A lad who works with Michael Owen's brother at Aerospace in Broughton told me yesterday that Owen-to-United is a goer. Apparently Fergie is on to his agent regularly saying that he is going to be needing another striker and that if Owen wants to return to England, United would be "very interested to hear from him". He wants a return and HAS been in touch.”
But is the deal done? Not quite, according to Owen’s mother, who has let it slip to ears at MGN that there’s just one problem with the proposal: “Michael fucking hates Fergie.” Bit of a dilemma for the little rat – but then, as Queiroz does all the coaching, most of the recent team-picking and all the TV work these days, would a loathing of Fergie matter very much, as he’ll rarely have to deal with him, it would appear?
