Manchester United do not expect Michael Owen shirts to be racing out of the club's megastore.

An employee at the club's megastore admitted to The Sun: "As far as I know, no one has asked for an Owen shirt.

"We haven't got his number yet which might have had an effect. We are not expecting a big demand even when that is known.

"We print about 3,000 for Wayne Rooney but we'll be doing nowhere near that for Owen."
