Michael Owen To Leave Old Trafford

Michael Owen

After spend­ing three roller-coaster years with Manchester United, Michael Owen is set to leave the Old Traf­ford club when his cur­rent con­tract expires next month. The former Liv­er­pool, Real Mad­rid, New­castle United and Eng­land cent­ral attacker joined Manchester United in a blaze of con­tro­versy at the start of the 2009-10 campaign.

Born and bred in the cathed­ral city of Chester, Michael Owen signed pro­fes­sional terms with nearby Liv­er­pool at the age of sev­en­teen in Decem­ber 1996. After mak­ing his Eng­lish Premier League debut for Liv­er­pool in a close 2–1 defeat against Wimble­don at Sel­hurst Park in May 1997, Owen pro­ceeded to play 306 league games for the Mer­sey­siders. The nat­ural born goal plun­derer later went on to give ster­ling ser­vice to New­castle United and Real Mad­rid before he signed for Manchester United in the sum­mer of 2009.
