Michael Owen aims to capture cup glory with Manchester United – Carling Cup
Manchester United’s star striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 has come out and said that the Red Devils will aim to do well in the Carling Cup this season. Manchester United are set to face off against Aldershot in their next league cup tie.
United will be the favourites when they take on the lower league minnows but after their shock 6-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester City on the weekend, it is quite possible that the Reds might falter in their mid-week cup tie
as well. Sir Alex Ferguson was critical of one or two players in his squad after United’s loss to City, therefore changes are expected to be brought about for the Red Devils’ next fixture.
More importantly, United’s strength in depth will be put to test against Aldershot, who will relish the chance of toppling one of the biggest teams in English football on Tuesday evening. Owen has been prolific for Manchester
United in the Carling Cup of late, he has been scoring consistently in the competition and when Manchester United won the Carling Cup in 2009/2010, Owen played a critical role in the cup final at Wembley as well.
The English striker has been unlucky as he has not been given much game time in the Premier League but Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 might shift to his more experienced campaigners now as the season enters into an important stage.
Aldershot are on a high as well as they won 5-2 in their latest league two fixture against Dagenham and Redbridge, therefore United will want to navigate themselves successfully over tricky waters come Tuesday evening.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 striker spoke to the media recently and said, "It's obviously going to be a massive game for Aldershot with Manchester United coming into town. I'm sure it'll be a full house and we're treating it as an important
game as well. There are players who weren't involved against City, me being one of them, and a lot of the lads need games so it'll be quite a strong Manchester United playing against them."
