Michael Owen: Premier League clubs consider ex-Man Utd striker

Several Premier League clubs are interested in signing former Manchester United striker Michael Owen, according to his agent.

Stoke City are understood to be one of them, but a clutch of teams believe the out-of-contract 32-year-old can still deliver at the top level.
Owen was released by United this summer after three seasons at Old Trafford.
But he is staying fit for the coming season using a personal programme designed by the club's coaches.
