He played for United and Liverpool, failed in Spain, now he is a commentator

Manchester United and Liverpool have maintained a historic rivalry and few have been the elements that wore both shirts. However, one of them was an idol of the Anfield team and had a brief stint with the biggest team in England. It did not go well for him in Spain and now he is dedicated to commenting on football matches.

It's about Michael Owen. The last English Ballon d'Or stood out with the team currently led by Jürgen Klopp and was considered the greatest promise of British football. However, after a spectacular career start, he was signed by Real Madrid, where injuries prevented him from standing out and ended up being an element that did not transcend in the Spanish team.

Later, it came to Manchester United and fans waited to see the version that Liverpool fans fell in love with. However, his step was inconsequential. In three years at Old Trafford, Owen, who won the Ballon d'Or in 2004, made just 52 appearances.

What is the ex-selected Englishman currently doing?

After playing in the biggest club in England, Owen was signed by Stoke City, where he spent just one season. In 2013 he announced his retirement from the courts and is now a sports commentator. He was considered one of the greatest figures in English football, but injuries prevented him from showing his best version over the years.
