MALAYSIA 2, MAN UNITED 3
UP AND RUNNING - Michael Owen beats Mohd Farizal Marlias for the winner
New-boy Michael Owen makes his mark
MICHAEL OWEN hit a late winner on his debut for Manchester United as the Red Devils posted a 3-2 win over a Malaysia XI side in Kuala Lumpur.
Wayne Rooney opened the scoring for United in the first half before turning creator for Nani to double the lead.
Mohammed Amri Yahyah halved the deficit before the interval, then levelled eight minutes after the re-start after a mistake by United goalkeeper Ben Foster.
With a shock draw on the cards, second-half substitute Owen was the quickest to react after Zoran Tosic was upended in the penalty area, pouncing on the loose ball and firing home.

I say Man U should consider signing that Malaysian striker. Anybody who could score two against Utd, whether in a friendly or otherwise should be looked at. Maybe just exchange Owen with that guy,

Sir Alex is the shrewdest manager of all , always ready to pounce on someone elses misfortune , theres no way owen would ever play in the championship with newcastle

Owen will be great if he stays injury free.

Crafty old bloke is Fergie, Carrick was a steal at 18 million and probably his best buy, Michael Owen's signing is a master stroke and for peanuts

Fergie can't replace ronaldo or tevez. Michael owen is a great player but can't stand man united. But guess it's better than hull

the majic man is sh...owen us that he`s still one of the best strikers in the business,Sir alex you are a legend!!

You may not like him or see his logic.....
But he has proven over the years that nothing compares!
Alex Ferguson...Pure Genius!!
Michael Owen will score more goals than Tevez, he's a model pro and will learn new tricks at Old Trafford...
Just because you have money in the bank does not mean you have to run out and spend it all...I think the word I'm after is prudence. Say no more.
