United To Sign Unemployed Dwarf

The postman must have been late delivering his brochure. The Glazers have only been good for Manchester United, right?
All newspapers run with the Owen to United story. Shaun Custis in The Sun provides some quotes:
A source close to Owen confirmed: "It's incredible that one day Michael was contemplating a move to Hull and now Manchester United have come in.
"This is just the boost he needed and now he is hoping that everything can be agreed."
Owen must pass a stringent medical, which could take place as early as today, before United put pen to paper. Alex Ferguson contacted Owen, 29, on Tuesday and offered him £50,000 a week to join the champions - plus huge bonuses depending on appearances and goals.
