Newcastle's Owen 'to sign for Manchester United'
Out-of-contract Newcastle United striker Michael Owen is poised to sign for Manchestdr United.
Newcastle's players returned for pre-season yesterday today amid hopes that a breakthrough off the field could be just days away.
But Owen was not among them.
It is reported the striker will take a 50 per cent pay cut in a bid to revive his injury-plagued career.

But before any move can go through, Owen must pass a medical, which could take place as early as today.
So far this summer, Sir Alex Ferguson has missed out on Lyon striker Karim Benzema, sold Cristiano Ronaldo for 80million and lost Carlos Tevez.
Owen, axed by England boss Fabio Capello, started his career at United's hated rivals Liverpool.
He became a free agent two days ago after his contract ran out at Newcastle.
