Man Utd striker Owen linked with shock Liverpool return

Manchester United striker Michael Owen is being linked with a shock return to Liverpool.

Kop boss Roy Hodgson is keen to beef up his attacking options and is rumoured to be considering a January move for Owen, according to reports this morning.

The former Reds striker is struggling to get first team action at Manchester United, and was overlooked for their Champions League tie at Valencia despite netting in United's previous two games at Scunthorpe and Bolton.

His contract is up at the end of the season and Hodgson may be able to get him for as little as £4m.

In eight years at Anfield he netted 158 goals in 297 matches, before leaving in 2004 to join Real Madrid.
