Owen's Winning Ambition

Michael Owen has scored goals at the very highest level, played for some of the world’s biggest clubs and won the prestigious Ballon d’Or.

But the 29-year-old admits there’s still something missing from his glittering career: a Premier League winner’s medal.

“It’s something I think about a lot,” he told ManUtd.com.

Owen’s one of only a handful of current Reds who have failed to lift the famous trophy; the closest he’s come was when Liverpool finished second, seven points behind Arsenal, in 20001/02.

Winning the league is an ambition Owen’s held since the very beginning of his career and one he hopes he can fulfil during his time at Old Trafford.

“When I was first asked to sign for Manchester United I went to bed thinking about what it would feel like to join a new club and meet new staff and new players,” he said.

“Playing under Sir Alex was also a big attraction and I thought about how good it would feel to run out every week at Old Trafford and play in front of so many people.

“But the big thing for me was the chance to win honours. Manchester United is such a great club and I’d love to be part of a league-winning team.”
