Manchester United striker Michael Owen is hoping for a new deal at Old Trafford this summer, but admits that no talks have yet taken place over his future.

Owen has scored 13 times in 37 appearances for United since arriving at the club in 2009. However, the stirker, who has 40 goals at international level and 89 England caps, has found himself fourth choice at United this season, behind both Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov, as well as the emerging Mexican talent Javier Hernandez.

Furthermore, with both Danny Welbeck and Federico Macheda currently out on-loan, at Sunderland and Sampdoria respectively, to aid with their footballing education, Owen remains in the dark over what Sir Alex Ferguson is planning for his future.

“I am not sure about my future yet – my contract expires at the end of this season,” Owen told the club’s official website.

“I’ve made no secret that, in an ideal world, I would extend my stay. I would love to play here for longer but I will just wait and see what the club say. We’ve not held any talks yet.”
