The Next Legend?
It is official! What we had never thought would happen, has happened. Michael Owen is the new owner of the legendary Number Seven jersey if this latest post at ManUtd.com os to be believed.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson intimated the former Liverpool and Newcastle striker would wear the no.7 jersey this season and Owen reiterated his delight at signing for the Reds.
While I have all these days been telling you about how Owen might just make history ( http://11reds.com/opinion/give-owen-a-fair-chance/271/ & http://11reds.com/opinion/saf-owen-has-never-lost-his-form/381/ )and if the news is for real, which it very much looks like then I stand correct my fellow readers.
Post from Teletext reads:
Sir Alex Ferguson handed Michael Owen the prized Manchester United number seven shirt and then declared Old Trafford closed for transfer business.
It was anticipated United would make further signings but Ferguson has decided his squad is good enough.
Ferguson said: “It is the end of our business, so all these stories about who we are supposed to be getting – forget it.”
Mirror says:
It means Owen will take over Ronaldo’s shirt and his place in an attacking line-up containing Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov, plus youngsters Daniel Welbeck and Federico Macheda, who will both be given a chance to prove they are worthy of the accolades that have been bestowed on them.
Well, that is all about the number seven after Best, Robson, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo, it is now Michael Owen who has a chance to rewrite the United’s Legend of Seven!
