The question was 'the great valley - crossing from Liverpool to Man Utd' - and Savage said: "Liverpool fans would NEVER accept Gary Neville if he signed for the Reds.
"But Man Utd fans have taken to Owen, because he was never a cult figure at Anfield."
The fact he scored 103 goals in 190 starts for Liverpool, they laughed and mocked him when he returned to Anfield with Newcastle.
They had no genuine belief he was a true Scouser; just as the Toon fans said in his first season "he'll NEVER be one of us"!
He is seen as money-grabber who performs only when the team is winning (something he even admitted to, saying he only performs in a 'good team').
As for him joining Man Utd, which is unthinkable for an ex-Liverpool player, the Scousers couldn't give a shit!
Why?
Will he become a Man Utd legend?
David Beckham believes he will reinvigorate his career at Old Trafford.
Beckham is quoted by The People as saying: “I'm so happy for Michael that he's there at Manchester United.
“There's not many other clubs he could have gone to that will give him the confidence and get him scoring goals again.
“Everyone in the England squad wants to see that because he's a great talent and a great goal scorer.
“To have a manager like Sir Alex looking after him, and with the talent he's going to be playing with and playing against - to be up against the defenders they've got in training week-in, week-out - is going to make him sharper.
“Sir Alex Ferguson is a great psychologist and I don't think it's going to take long because a player of Michael's talent doesn't lose it overnight.
“Michael showed in the Community Shield last weekend that he gets in the right places.”
