Owen has no fears wearing Man Utd No7

Michael Owen is happy to be wearing the No7 at Manchester United.

"That shirt has pressures of its own and some great players have worn it in the past, but I will do it justice," claimed Owen.

"The manager asked me to wear the shirt. He said a player needs broad shoulders for it and he asked me if I felt I could handle it.

"I said 'yes' without hesitation. I know it represents so much. Two big players have left Manchester United in Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. There were a lot of goals in Ronaldo and I'm here to hopefully fill that gap."
