UAE club Al Shabab insists that they are not in the market for former Manchester United striker Michael Owen, despite plans to speak to his representatives.

UAE outfit Al Shabab have confirmed that they will not sign Manchester United reject Michael Owen.

The club have stated that they will speak to the striker's representatives following reports of a potential move but vice-president Khalid Bu Humaid has claimed that they are not in the market for the former Liverpool frontman.

"This is a general talk with no obligations," Sky Sports News quotes Humaid as saying. "When someone calls us we listen to what they have to say and see what they have to offer. But this part of the world is not the market for Michael Owen anymore.

"Michael Owen is on the downhill right now. He's not one of our options. He's 32 and he only played a handful of matches last season. We'll listen to what his agent has to say and report that back to the coach (Marcos Paqueta), who is currently in Brazil."

Owen, who has been hampered by injury in recent years, was released by United last summer following just one Premier League appearance this season.
