Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier admits he's interested in Manchester United striker Michael Owen. The French tactician worked with the former England striker for six years during their time together at Liverpool and the new Villa chief has not dismissed the chances of a reunion.
"He has always been in my thoughts," Houllier told Canal+.
"I like him (Owen), as a player and a man."
Houllier also dismissed suggestions that Owen, 30, was no longer capable of producing goals at Premier League level.
"I went to Liverpool on September 4 for Jamie Carragher's testimonial, and I saw Michael play a half of football," he said.
"He still has the legs for it."
