Arsenal and Man Utd have both been approached by the management team of Michael Owen with what is thought to be an offer to play for cut price wages.

In addition they have asked that before they even consider the proposal that they give Michael Owen a medical so that they are not influenced by his previous history.

It has been reported that he will play for a s little as 40,000 per week which is a massive drop from the wages he was previously on.

Owen is desperate to get back in to the England reckoning and is holding off from joining Everton until all other avenues have been exhausted,

There is next to be chance of him joining Stoke or Hull.

Should Arsenal and Man Utd give Owen a medical before they even talk with the players representatives.?
