New MO brochure
being prepared
News fresh from Premier League losers, Manchester United, who have decided to discard the fading talents of former Magpie, Michael Owen.
Not surprising, given that Owen made just one Premier League appearance in the 2011/12 season and that was from the bench at Stoke way back in September.
However, Michael and his team will no doubt be preparing a new PR brochure highlighting his fabulous strike rate for last season which works out at three goals every four games - having scored three times in four games....
But it will probably omit that his strikes came against lower league opposition - Leeds(2) and Aldershot - both in the Carling Cup.
His overall record after three seasons at the Red Devils is 52 appearances (34 as sub), scoring 17 goals. He made just six Premier League starts and one in the FA Cup with the other 11 starts coming in the Carling Cup and Europe.
Owen leaves the Premier League runners-up aged 32, while old codgers, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs have been offered new contracts aged 37 and 38, respectively.
The full list of teams Owen netted against for Manchester United tells its own story (most recent first):
Aldershot, Leeds, Blackpool, Southampton, Bolton, Scunthorpe, Aston Villa, West Ham, Wolfsburg, CSKA Moscow, Barnsley, Man City, Wigan.
Put that in your brochure and smoke it....
