Will Aston Villa Football Club move for Michael Owen in January?

The 30-year-old striker signed for Manchester United last summer upon the expiry of his contract at Newcastle United, but ended the season on the treatment table.

Owen is now fit and raring to go, but he is struggling to force his way into the Reds first team, particularly following the arrival of Javier Hernandez.

The England striker, who won his last cap two years ago, played the best football of his career during his time under Gerard Houllier at Liverpool.

After being appointed Villa coach the rumours have already begun that the French coach could make a move to be reunited with his former Anfield charge in the New Year.
