Manchester United striker Michael Owen wants extension to his United contract: EPL News
Manchester United striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355, is eyeing an extension to his contract with the Red Devils.
Owen will be a free agent in June and is desperate to stay at the Old Trafford despite spending majority of the time on benches. The former Liverpool striker joined United on a two-year deal before the start of the 2009/10 season and was handed the famous
number seven shirt left vacant by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 striker has not quite made the same impact as the Portuguese but his last minute strike in United’s 4-3 win over the bitter rivals, Manchester City, won the hearts of many Red Devil fans.
The 31-year-old has appeared in bits and pieces since joining United and has managed to score 14 goals in 47 appearances for the Red Devils so far.
The former Newcastle United striker revealed that despite getting limited opportunities of playing, he has enjoyed every minute of his time at Old Trafford.
Talking to the reporters Owen said, "I have loved every minute. We have great players, great staff, a great manager and great fans. Hopefully it can continue."
Owen made the substitutes bench for the UEFA Champions League final defeat against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s
team.
"When you start every season the first objective is to win the league. What happened at the weekend should not be allowed to detract from that." added the striker
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid striker won the first Premier League medal of his career this season and it came under very emotional circumstances for him. Owen, who was a legend for Liverpool could not win the league with the Reds and when he joined their bitter
rivals, United, the Merseyside fans could not digest this thing. Now, the striker has been part of the Premier League title win, which takes United ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 as the most successful club in the British history.
