Manchester United striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 is reportedly being monitored by Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua, who are ready to offer him a multi-million deal if he moves to Asia.
Owen, who signed for United in 2009, has endured a ruthlessly injury-prone career at Old Trafford, with the majority of his time being spent on the sidelines.
However they have been moments to savour for the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 man, with sensational strikes against Manchester City and his hat-trick against Wolfsburg coming to mind. But this season the forward has seen his playing time severely restricted with Wayne
Rooney, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 all ahead of him in the pecking order.
Owen suffered a major blow to his Euro 2012 aspirations, as he all but confirmed his omission from the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 squad after injuring himself in the UEFA Champions League tie against Otelul Galati. Since his last game in October, the attacker has been on the
sidelines slowly but surely making his way back to full fitness.
Now he is reportedly going to be on the bench for United’s game with Swansea with Welbeck out with injury, but his future at the helm seems uncertain.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shanghai-Shenhua-c40497 are prepared to offer him a mega-money deal and reunite him with Nicolas
Anelka in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/China-c8926.
The Far East has become a cash-rich place for budding footballers and more for stars past their prime. Anelka, who is currently managing the team as well, allegedly earns more than £200,000-a-week and the club would be prepared to offer Owen the same pay
bracket if he were to sign.
While the prospect of earning riches at the end of their careers is a tantalizing option for many players, the United veteran has voiced his concern in the past, saying that he wants to stay with a big club and would not go down to a lower level to get regular
game time.
However the money on offer would be tantalizing for Owen, who is clearly past his best.
