Michael Owen responds to move fans think is 'unspeakable' with Manchester United admission

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen revealed the Manchester United dressing room didn't give him any hassle over his allegiances with their arch-rivals.

Owen made the switch to Old Trafford from Newcastle United in 2009 after making 71 Premier League appearances for the Magpies across his four-year period at St James' Park. The 43-year-old burst onto the scene at Anfield and became the club's youngest goalscorer at 17 years and 143 days.

During his time with Liverpool, he won the FA Cup, two League Cup's as well as the UEFA Cup plus a number of individual accolades including the Ballon d'Or in 2001. He left the Reds for the Spanish capital and the Galacticos, Real Madrid, but almost returned to L4 after a year in La Liga but the Toon Army swooped in to acquire the striker.
