Owen Back in the Red Soccer Uniform and at the Top of the League

One of its favorite sons signed a contract with Manchester United and the irony of ironies, it could be the man to fire Manchester United to the proud position of having won more titles from top flight league in the United Kingdom. To outsiders, Michael Owen wear the red soccer team Manchester United will not be too different from Michael Owen in the red jersey of the soccer team Liverpool, but for fans of both teams is a decisive moment of the season is not yet party. Owen has struggled against Newcastle United, look no facility in the kit of black and white stripes of Newcastle, but as a club, Newcastle have been in a downward spiral for several years. This culminated in their descent and while some fans waiting for their big-name players would stay and help them bounce to the Premier League, most are happy to receive the low performance outside of the wage bill. After losing his place in England and a World Cup year to come, there is no way that Michael Owen could afford to play league football for one season, but it seemed as if their flight options the top would not be too attractive. As much as the sight of Michael Owen and Newcastle football kit strange, if the player was seen playing soccer uniforms Hull City would be the death knell for his career. So the shock move to Manchester United could be just something to revitalize the player and maybe do it by plane to South Africa. Its clear that Owen would probably have preferred a return to Anfield and get a chance to play in front of the Kop again, but Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has never been an admirer of the player. He had the opportunity to buy before him, which was rejected in the league, but Liverpool's hopes fell apart last season due to lack of a poacher, Benitez still believes he is better off without him. That left Owen in the search for another club in England, there are more 'big Manchester United, so Owen could not reduce the appeal of Old Trafford. Its not as though Spain must improve its global brand, but given their new home and away football uniforms to sell this season, leading to another world class player like Michael Owen will do them no harm. They may have lost Cristiano Ronaldo, who played with her white uniform soccer team Real Madrid next season, Ronaldo and Owen is not, but it gives the team another striker who can grab more goals when they need it. Do not expect Michael Owen to play week after week for United, but you can expect to come off the bench in close games and could be the deciding factor in a campaign season that is expected to be signed.
