1. The most important thing for Owen to impress Manchester United is his efficiency as a striker. Despite the growth of age, the decline of speed and explosive power, and the troubles of injuries, Owen could not be a teenager who followed the wind before 10. But time has never diluted an efficient shooter.
I have some data here. In 2005-06, Owen returned to Newcastle and missed most of the games due to injury, but scored 7 goals in 1 1. (Only played 3 times in 2006-07); In the 2007-08 season, he scored 13 goals in 33 games. Last season, Owen kept falling down in the second half due to injury, but scored 10 goals 20 times in a healthy first half; Dating back to playing for Real Madrid in 2004-05, Owen still scored 14 goals that he was proud of, and even ranked first in the team in terms of efficiency (the ratio of goals to playing time).
Although Owen is a little tight in the first two rounds, give him some time and he will surprise everyone.
2. Owen's influence as No.7 is only 28 years old. But the young and famous Owen still has great commercial value. Just look at the screams brought by Owen's trip to Asia. With Ronaldo gone, Manchester United will definitely lose money in global brand promotion, and Owen, who is handsome in appearance and outstanding in ball skills, can make up for this loss to a great extent.
The price of signing Owen is very low. The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez made the Red Devils' front line encounter a personnel crisis. Free Owen is a good supplement. Manchester United only paid Owen's salary. On the other hand, Manchester City and Real Madrid created inflation in the transfer market this summer. Many good strikers, such as aguero, Benzema and Villa, are worth a lot of money, and Manchester United will not make a move at this time, although there is no shortage of money.
About these three main reasons. As for other reasons, such as Owen's personal reasons, he wants to join the national team and play in the Champions League, and so on.
