Many were shocked that United signed out of form Michael Owen. Could this be another very shrewd signing from the United boss? Ferguson is insisting that striker Michael Owen will score goals for the club this season after securing a free transfer from Newcastle.

Owen still does look far from match fit and missed four good chances against Valencia on Wednesday. He did though score four goals in six pre-season games.

Many of the Old Trafford faithful are yet to be convinced about the 29- year-old former Liverpool striker.

According to The Sun, his lengthy injury record and disappointing four-year spell at St James’ Park have led many critics to suggest he is past his best and has little left in the tank.

But United gaffer Fergie insisted: “Michael may have reached the stage in his career where he won’t figure in every game – but he’ll score a lot of goals for us. It’ll be in keeping with his tremendous record throughout his career for England, Liverpool and Newcastle”
