Owen starts to consider retirement
Friday, 29 October 2010
LONDON, Oct 28 (AFP): Michael Owen has hinted he will consider retiring if Manchester United don't offer him a new contract at the end of this season.
Owen's current deal expires at the end of the season and the former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker has yet to be offered a new contract.
The 30-year-old has endured an injury-ravaged time with United and is sidelined again at present due to a hamstring problem.
He has started just six league games since arriving at Old Trafford last year and with the emergence of young Mexico striker Javier Hernandez this season, Owen knows there is decent chance boss Sir Alex Ferguson will deem him surplus to requirements.
