Owen extends Manchester United contract by a year Michael Owen will see more action this year after extending his contract with Manchester for another season
The former England striker has been used mostly as a substitute in his two years with United and his contract expired after this season. Owen was on the bench as Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney became United's preferred forward partnership but manager Alex Ferguson says "we will look to give him more opportunities in the new season." The 31-year-old Owen joined on a free transfer in July 2009 after a career with Liverpool, Real Madrid and Newcastle. He has scored 14 goals in 48 appearances for United, finally clinching his first Premier League winners' medal this season.
