Manchester United shocked England with a move to acquire Michael Owen on July 3. The deal comes as interest in Owen had been linked with a move to Hull City. Michael Owen becomes only the fifth footballer since the Second World War to play for both Manchester  Seattle Seahawks Men Jersey United and their rivals Liverpool. The signing was more than a surprise to all of Europe; Owen himself was surprised when approached by Sir Alex Ferguson. The controversy did not Seattle Seahawks T Shirts  die when Michael Owen put pen to paper; and signed a two year deal that although reportedly is incentive laden, was le s than what other clubs were offering.
