Owen for United!!

Michael Owen has agreed terms to join Utd. He completed a series of stringent medical tests and had agreed a deal worth £50,000 a week plus huge bonuses depending on goals and appearances.

The former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Newcastle forward signed for United on a free transfer for 2 years. He became a free agent after his contract ended 1 July.

Ferguson without much option for a striker after french forward Karim Benzema chose to became a galactico.

Owen could force his way back into England boss Fabio Capello's plan who had continually snubbed him at international level. But, with top level of football play every week, Capello will have 1 more striking option with World Cup finals less than 12 months away.
