Regaining his confidence and his prowess as a predator would, you imagine, not be sufficient to secure him a starting place. He does not have the speed to serve as a spearhead nor the dynamism to be an offensive fulcrum, nor even to pester tired defences in the way Tevez can. And - his sporadic flourishes 'in the hole' for Newcastle under Keegan notwithstanding – he is not creative or forceful enough to provide the presence or goals from midfield that United will miss with the departure of Ronaldo and the continued waning of Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs. He does offer the experience and nous that Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck currently lack but probably not enough to even replicate the role briefly played at Old Trafford by Henrik Larsson. The Owen-style of player is a near anachronism, that with which only the biggest clubs can afford to persist. Owen's role at United will, if he signs, be to spring off the bench on occasions when United are creating chances but failing to convert them. He will be to United what Kris Boyd is to Rangers, only less so.

Michael Owen could be set for a return to the Newcastle United starting line-up for tonight's vital home game with Middlesbrough.
The England international was left out of the starting XI by Alan Shearer for last weekend's defeat at Anfield but, with Obafemi Martins struggling with a groin injury, Owen could be in line for a recall for what is a must-win game.

Newcastle and their local rivals are level on 31 points, three points away from fourth from bottom Hull, with just three games to play causing Shearer to label tonight's encounter as the biggest game of his entire career.

Iturbe started playing first team football with Cerro Porteño on June 28, 2009, at age 16, on a game against Libertad valid for the 21st week of the Paraguayan Primera División.
Being 17 years of age, Iturbe was not under professional contract with Cerro Porteño.Therefore, he signed for Quilmes on a free transfer in August 2010.
Iturbe's talent has drawn comparison with fellow Argentine Lionel Messi.
Widespread media speculation in both January and February 2010 implied that Iturbe had indicated a preference to sign with Porto rather than a host of other major European Clubs when eligible. It was also rumoured that once adapted to football in Europe, he would move on to Manchester United from Porto.
