Hard to believe but..I think..he is good enough to be United No.7. I just can’t wait to see him make his debut against Malaysia XI this Saturday.

Micheal Owen, Gabriel Obertan and Valencia will be the only 3 Sir Alex Ferguson signing this season. There will be no more….!! Sir Alex is ready for next season challenge with current squad and he is set to give more important roles to Welbeck and Macheda!!

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who claimed that his summer business is done after unveiling new recruits Owen, Antonio Valencia and Gabriel Obertan this lunchtime, has handed former England striker Owen a two-year deal at Old Trafford after signing the free agent following his departure from Newcastle United earlier this month.

But with Owen set to make his United debut against a Malaysian XI in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, the 29-year-old, who has been handed the number seven shirt vacated by Cristiano Ronaldo, claims he is fit and ready to succeed at Old Trafford.

Owen, having made his name with United’s bitter rivals Liverpool, is one of a select few players to have crossed the divide by playing for both clubs. And he admits that wearing a United shirt is not something he expected to happen during his difficult time at Newcastle.

He said: “Over the last couple of years, I probably wouldn’t have expected to be sat here as a Manchester United player.

“I came here as a youngster, so it was always a possibility and you never know where you will go in your career, but it would have been dreaming if, over the last couple of years, I had dreamt of plying my trade here.

“As soon as United came in, though, every other set of talks was put on hold and the deal was wrapped up virtually straightaway. I still feel that I belong at a top club and I am delighted to be here.”
