 Manchester United is delighted to announce that it has signed Michael Owen on a two-year contract. The striker was out of contract, so no transfer fee is involved.
Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Michael is a world class forward with a proven
goalscoring record at the highest level and that has never been in
question. Coming to Manchester United with the expectations that we
have is something that Michael will relish.”
Michael Owen said:
"I had just begun to talk to other clubs when out of the blue Sir Alex
phoned me on Wednesday afternoon, invited me to have breakfast with him
the next morning during which he told me that he wanted to sign me. I
agreed without a moment's thought.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for me and I intend to seize it with both hands.
"I
am now looking forward to being a Manchester United player and I am
fortunate that I already know so many of the players here. I missed
pre-season last year and am pleased that I will be starting at
Carrington from day one.
"I want to thank Sir Alex for the
faith he has shown in me and I give him my assurance that I will repay
him with my goals and performances”
