Terry Venables has claimed that Sir Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, has picked up a bargain by signing Michael Owen on a free transfer.
Owen scored on his first appearance for his new club, and Venables believes he will prove to be a great signing.
The former England boss told The Daily Star, "It is a logical step forward for Alex Ferguson, in my opinion.
"He’s lost the world’s best player and he’s also lost Carlos Tevez. If Owen doesn’t get injured, he will score.
"He may have lost a yard of pace but his anticipation is as good as ever, if not better, and if he gets loads of chances, he will get a lot of goals.
"You can spend £15 million or £20m on a striker and not get that many goals."
