Thanjk you.

There's probably more disdain than anything at the moment, but he would be hated with real venom if he moved there. I can't even contemplate it. When was the last time a former Liverpool player played for Man Utd anyway?

MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to make a sensational summer move for Michael Owen.
Sir Alex Ferguson has focused his search for a striker on Newcastle's 27-year-old England star, who has a £12million release clause in his contract.
Owen has been out with a serious knee injury since last summer's World Cup finals but scored in a friendly game against Gretna last week.
Pleading
He has been pleading with Toon boss Glenn Roeder for a chance in the first-team and could make his comeback against Chelsea next week.
Ferguson will only launch a bid if he is fully satisfied Owen has recovered from the knee operation.
A well-placed United source told us: "It is no secret that Sir Alex wants another striker and he is bound to be attracted by someone of Owen's pedigree at such a competitive price. Naturally we would have to be certain he has recovered from his injury and that is why his return will be closely monitored.
"Ideally we want to see him in action for several games between now and the end of the season."
United's interest is certain to appeal to Owen, even though he still feels a debt to Newcastle after they paid £16m to sign him from Real Madrid nearly two years ago.
Owen still has his main home in the north-west, near Chester, even though he has a property in the north-east.
He is itching to get back into Premiership action and has also earmarked England's Euro Championship qualifier against Estonia in June for his international return.
According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.
Now this is a transfer I could see happening. He would jump at the chance to play at Old Trafford...in fact I wouldn't be surprised if he's orchestrating the move right now.
AFII is now waiting to see when and not if Owen will be linked with Arsenal and Chelsea....Two of the top four have so far been linked with him...
Just believe and you never know what will happen.

Assuming he gets over his injury, he would dominate the scorers chart for the foreseeable future if he went to Utd. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go, loyalty means nothing to him.
At that price, I'd seriously consider having him back.

Getting over his injury though is a huge assumption. He's played less than 1000minutes of football over the last two seasons accoridng to one report I read this morning.
