Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 claims that he will try his best in order to earn a new contract at Old Trafford, so that he can show his son that he is still capable of playing at the highest level.
The veteran forward has been a bargain addition to Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s side after joining the ranks in 2009. A proven talent, Owen was notoriously famous for spending more time on the treatment table than off it.
While that problem hasn’t eased since his arrival in Manchester, he still possesses the knack of scoring crucial goals at the right time. Few fans can forget how he made the headlines against City with his late winner or his hat trick in the UEFA Champions
League.
However his heroics have been rare and it has become a routine sight to see Owen on the sidelines rather in the thick of the action. His current situation with the Red Devils is also far from ideal, as he is behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233, Javier Hernandez
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 in the pecking order.
The attacker, though, remains unfazed by his predicament and claimed that he will try his best in order to earn an extension to his present United contract, so that his son can see him star for the Premier League champions.
“My son thinks I am the best player in the world and when I tell him http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 is, he can’t accept it because he thinks I am. But he cannot accept that Messi is better than me and that is the little frustrating part. I would love my son to still see me
banging the goals in so that is a priority of mine.”
“I went to see the manager last season a couple of weeks before the end of the season and I really went in there thinking it was 50-50 whether he would offer me a new contract or not. I was absolutely delighted when he did. I will be going in again in a
similar situation. I wouldn’t like to put figures on it this time, but I will speak to him at some point,” Owen said.
According to reports, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 man is on the road to recovery from his last setback and could return to training as soon as this week.
