I can’t believe this guy is still kickin’ around. Don’t get me wrong, I know the poor sod is only 29ish, but he’s more injury prone than a grandmother on mechanical bull ride, so at best I expected him to be missing an appendage. I’m also surprised that he passed the United medical and was fit enough to sign a contract. Anyway, Sir Ferg clearly sees something in him that not many other clubs see or are willing to waste their time with… which could only mean one of two things. He’ll either be the next Alan Smith/Ole Gunnar Solskjaer/Henrik Larsson/Carlos Tevez/[insert ex-United back-up striker here] and be used as sparing as possible so as to avoid injuries… or he’ll get a new lease of life under his new gaffers ruling iron-fist and become a scoring phenomenon… while still carrying minor injuries. Either way, expect variations of the word “injury” to be partnered in headlines with Owen a lot this season. I know I’ll be keeping count!

Just a reminder of what the guy can do when he’s not wrapped in cotton wool… quite impressive but highly unlikely ever again.
