Ferguson: Owen will not be loaned © EuroFootball.com

Strategist Sir Alex Ferguson rejects the possibility of loaning Michael Owen to another team in January. Since the beginning of October, the Englishman, who has not played due to injury, is ready to return to the field and, according to Ferguson, is doing well in training. However, Owen's contract expires next summer, so it is rumored that he may leave as soon as January. "Michael looks really good in training," Ferguson said to the Mail on Sunday. "People have forgotten what a great player he is. If Owen is ready, I think he will play a significant role in the second half of the season. "I know that several clubs are interested in the possibility of loaning him, but that will not happen. Michael is staying in the team."
