I had to read that headline twice.
Michael Owen going to Manchester United. I had heard the rumours, but shrugged them off as nonsense. Michael, a graduate of Liverpool Academy, wouldn’t go to the arch nemesis, would he? Well, I guess money talks.
Then again, from what I read, he’s not getting that much either. Which puzzles me even further why he’d go to United.
Yes, it’s just a game, but just these are the clubs were just 1 player has had a direct transfer between since the end of World War II. There has been players who played for both clubs, no doubt. Not someone so intimately tied to either club as Michael has been.
Now, I’ve been a fan of Owen, and still think he has a few good years of football left and can he stay fit and in form, he’ll be an addition to any team.
It’s going to be interesting to see what reception he gets from the Kop when United comes to Anfield in October. I doubt it’ll be unanimous cheers.
