Michael Owen has completed an intensive three hour medical in central Manchester today, and has emerged smiling from the hospital where it was conducted, giving further credence to reports that he is set to sign for Manchester United this evening.
The player, who became almost as famous for his injuries as his goals during his spell at Newcastle United, was at the Red Devils' training ground at Carrington for two to three hours this morning, before being driven to a central Manchester hospital, where he underwent stringent tests.
With the focus on Owen's fitness, his former team-mate with Liverpool and England, Hull City's Nicky Barmby, thinks that the focus should rather be on the way Owen has returned from injury, and his prowess as a striker.
"You look at the way he's come back from two career threatening injuries. It's been fantastic the way he's come back," Barmby told Sky Sports News.
"He played 30 odd games last year for Newcastle, and if you put chances in front of Michael he will definitely finish them off."
Opinion has been divided amongst both Liverpool and Manchester United fans about the deal, but it looks certain now that the striker will soon be wearing a red shirt again, albeit one with a devil and not a liver bird on it. |
