Liverpool legend Fowler confused over Owen's Man Utd move

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has ducked questions over Michael Owen's move to Manchester United.

The North Queensland Fury striker, when asked if he could ever have signed for United, replied: “No, I don’t think so.

“Obviously I want Michael to do well but I don’t want Manchester United to do well.

“It’s a sticky situation and I don’t want to get drawn into things with Michael and Man United. Everyone knows I’m a Liverpool fan.

“But if Michael scores a lot of goals then I hope Fernando Torres scores a lot more.”

its easy for him to say when his career is not on the line.

only fans talk about loyalty. it doesnt work that way with players.

its their career at stake after all.

Yeah, if it was himself in that situation a few years back, I wouldn't be surprised if he jumped at the chance to play for United as well rather than go to Leeds or then Man City...

look at the way he replies, you can see that he doesn't blame owen for going to man utd. He understands how it's about owen's career and future. That's more important than just the loyalty.
