A shrewd gamble by Manchester United has so far paid off, with injury prone Michael Owen passing an extended fitness test and signing a two year contract with the Premier league champions.
Although there are so far no official disclosures from United, it is reported around the media that Owen will receive a basic salary around a fifth of his salary at Newcastle, with performance related bonuses that should take his wages close to what he is used to – if he stays injury free.
Owen is a great signing for United, he is a proven goalscorer at the top level of the game, he is still under thirty. I think he still has something to give and also something to prove. I doubt that he will have a better chance.
