The forward of the England national team and Real Madrid, Michael Owen, says he would be willing to return to play for his hometown club. The footballer also stated that he is dissatisfied with the limited playing time at the "royal" club.

The 25-year-old player moved to the Spanish capital team this summer for 8 million pounds. During this time, he played in only 12 league matches from the start, but managed to score 10 goals against opponents' goalkeepers.

"Would I go back to Liverpool? I wouldn't be against it if I had to leave for some reason. It's clear that I don't like sitting on the bench," said the Englishman.

Despite the fact that Michael Owen's main competitors for a place in the starting lineup are far less productive - Raul scored only six goals in 24 matches, while Ronaldo scored 12 goals in the same number of matches - the team's coach, Wanderley Luxemburgo, does not yet trust the forward and often leaves him out of the starting eleven.

"Let's hope that the situation improves and I won't have to spend too much time on the bench," Michael Owen hopes. Meanwhile, rumors are already circulating that the Englishman could be pursued by not only Liverpool, but also.
