Michael Owen Says There No Dressing Room Unrest

Michael Owen believes there is not dressing room unrest after the Wayne Rooney contract saga last week.

Rooney questioned the ambition of Manchester United last week when Alex Ferguson revealed that the striker was looking to leave the club.

But a deal was struck and Rooney will now be paid a whopping $250,000 a week to stay at Old Trafford. But despite all the rumours and the speculation flying around over the last week Owen has revealed that everyone at the club is happy.

Speaking to The Sun the striker said: "I don't think it had any effect, really.

"Everyone seems to be happy now. The club have got a world-class player signed for five years and obviously Wayne's happy and the manager's happy.

"Wayne is obviously ambitious and the club's ambitious. He wouldn't have signed if he had any doubts.

"I don't think there was a change of mind. The press can look into things like that, the why and what and all the rest of it."

But it's not all good news for Michael Owen as he has been hit with another injury setback. The striker, who has been blighted by problems since he joined United, has suffered a hamstring injury and will be out of action for a further few weeks.

Owen was expected to be in Carling Cup action last night against Wolves but he picked up the injury in training.
