Devil Owen

MALAYSIANS will be the first to catch new signing, Michael Owen, in action for Manchester United when the Red Devils play the Malaysian national team at the National Football Stadium, Bukit Jalil tomorrow.


United had just signed their new No 7 on a free transfer. Owen may not be the ideal replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo but the prolific striker surely has a knack for scoring.

So, fans can expect the England striker to keep the goals coming tomorrow. This will not be his first time to Malaysia. Before his rise to stardom, Owen was the star of the England team in the 1997 Youth World Cup here in Kuala Lumpur.

Back then, I was still studying somewhere up north and been following games which were held in Alor Setar & Kangar. Even Ireland team used our sports complex as training base...players like
Pablo Aimar, Esteban Cambiasso, Juan Roman Riquelme, Jamie Carragher, Kieron Dyer, Danny Murphy, Michael Owen, Nicolas Anelka, William Gallas, Thierry Henry, Mikaƫl Silvestre, David Trezeguet, Damien Duff all graduated from that tournament and became superstar with various league...

To Malaysian team, no worries, 100,000 fans come to Bukit Jalil to watch MU, so just enjoy the game, we the fan does not expect much from you guys...coz honestly we dunno what to expect already...
