Owen vows to play on

Former England striker Michael Owen has no intention of retiring following his release by Manchester United.

Owen has announced that United will not be offering him a new contract when his current deal expires this summer.

That might have led to speculation that the 32-year-old could quit the game after three injury-ravaged years at Old Trafford but he intends to play on, and told Sky Sports News: "At 32, I definitely owe it to myself to have two or three years and play a bit more - but for somebody else."
