I don't know why Michael Owen hasn't been played in the last 3-4 games which included a 1-0 shocking defeat to ex-derby team - Leeds United.
I will be shocked to know if the reason is politics since Fergie supports the cause of sending this brilliant England Striker who has been neglected since March 2008 by the Italian manager - Fabio Capello.
On the other hand, Dimitar Berbatov has been incorporated in the team a bit too many times. He doesn't deserve to be in United starting eleven for the 3 consecutive teams. I'm not saying he's a waste of a player but because there are better players than him (eg Owen) who must be given a chance often.
Berbatov has been shown the red flag too many times and it seems he has improved on his game a little (if nothing at all). He scores easy goals and celebrates as if he's scored a mind-boggling one! He has nothing more than 5 months to prove his value at United. Now is it intelligent to play him instead of Owen (who is a proven gem).
I really ponder why Owen is neglected by both Fergie and Capalo. Michael has been recommended Feng Shui by former England Cricketer and famous commentator - Geoffrey Boycott. Boycott wrote to Michael that he should try the Chinese remedy to help him give a little edge to spark up his game and attract the likes of critics and hopefully ruthless Fabio Capello too.
Hope Michael scores more hat-tricks and brings more glory to Manchester United.
Hail Michael! Hail Jersery number 7!!!

I dont feel like saying but its coming out that I have started hating Sir Alex..
my mind always contradicts his opinions..
lately I have never been able to understand him..
Dunno wat is the fate of Owen..
though Sir Alex praised him a lot a few days backk.but yet.
Well then again I get the reason now :p
A few days back Sir Alex was comparing him with Rooney and hence said that its difficult to play both of them together coz both have same kind of gameplay and again Berbatov has a different game so he has to be played as fwd..
so obv Rooney is being preferred!
But Owen deserves a chance.. :(
I totally agree with you Akul. I hope Owen is freed this summer. United is definitely his place to be :|
M.O must have known that this will happen and moreover his fitness hasnt been very good either , Berbatov's Form and Hernandez 's goals make it more difficult , i think he will thank his stars if United will win the league , that he finally has a league medal
