Poor aul Mike doesn’t half get some abuse for being boring, does he?
Michael Owen took to Twitter this morning, before he packed his bags to head off to Hong Kong (coincidence? You decide) to give United fans a bit of good news that he got from his inside line at the Old Trafford club.

So, Juan Mata is on the verge of a move to United. A little dickie bird tells me there is more good news for United fans coming soon! #tease
