Owen who published his own publicity brochure last month in a bid to lure clubs to sign him up had so far attracted the attention of Hull City and Stoke City; however he was always going to hold out for one of the top clubs to snap him up. There was also the issue of wages; Owen was on £110,000 a week at Newcastle, a price unlikely to be matched by many. Manchester United who have just lost top strikers Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez will be able to offer Owen top money and Champions League football, which he will view as his way back into the England team.
Owen whose contract with Newcastle expired on the 1st July could join Manchester United as soon as next week if he passes all examinations and tests put to him by the medical team.
He scored 30 goals in 79 games over 4 years for Newcastle.
