Moving to a rival club: How big a sin is it?

2. Michael Owen

Fee: Free agent

Perennially injured or out of form when fit while at Newcastle United, Michael Owen joined Manchester United on a free transfer in an attempt to finally win the League title, after failing to do so after almighty efforts for the Kop. His time at Manchester United is best remembered for his injury-time winner in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

Trophies won at United:

1 Premier League, 1 League Cup, 1 Community Shield

Trophies won at Liverpool:

1 FA Cup, 1 Community Shield, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 2 League Cups

Verdict:

Not sure – Owen got what he came for – trophies (mainly the Premier League). But he hardly played a big role in securing it and had to settle for a spot on the bench.
