Why is Michael Owen an official Liverpool ambassador when people like Daniel Agger and Jerzey Dudek are not?
Last night, our former striker, who ran his contract down and left for Real Madrid – before eventually joining Manchester United – spoke gleefully about his time at Old Trafford on Canal+.
Owen was directing his comments at Karim Benzema, thanking the Frenchman for signing for Real Madrid in 2007, which allowed him to move to United.

High time the club did something, isn’t it?
