Man Utd boss Ferguson tightlipped over Real Madrid's Owen

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has refused to comment on reports linking Real Madrid striker Michael Owen with Old Trafford.

"I'm not answering that," said the United boss when he was asked at a press conference if he holds an interest in the former Liverpool hit-man.

"I'll tell you why. I've seen the nonsense you have written all year. There is no way I would give you a helping hand in that respect."

"I am not going to make any comment whatsoever. You need to ask Real Madrid that really as I'm sitting in Manchester."
