The 34 year old who is 5th in Liverpool’s all-time goalscoring chart, is due to start his new career at Queensland Fury tomorrow, but was asked if he would have ever considered joining United.
“No, I don’t think so.”
Was the response.
“Obviously I want Michael to do well but I don’t want Manchester United to do well.
“It’s a sticky situation and I don’t want to get drawn into things with Michael and Man United. Everyone knows I’m a Liverpool fan.
“But if Michael scores a lot of goals then I hope Fernando Torres scores a lot more.”
“I don’t want to go down that route (being critical of Owen’s decision) as I leave myself open to criticism but Michael has done what he’s done and it’s not for me to judge what he should do or shouldn’t do. He’s a big lad.
“His record over the years has been fantastic. Again, I hope he scores a few goals but I hope they concede more.”
Well in Robbie lad. And good luck down with the ‘Fury!
