Let me stay! Owen tells United boss Fergie that he wants to remain at Old Trafford

Michael Owen once again has confirmed his desire to remain at Manchester United after taking part in the club's open-top bus parade around the city on Monday morning.

The former England striker is out of contract this summer but insists he wants to stay at Old Trafford despite his bit-part role for Sir Alex Ferguson's side over the past two seasons.

Owen also claimed Saturday's defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League final should not be allowed to put a dampener on the campaign after the team secured their record-breaking 19th Barclays Premier League title.

When you start every season the first objective is to win the league,' said Owen, who scored five goals this season to add to the nine he hit in the 2009/10 season after leaving Newcastle.

'What happened at the weekend should not be allowed to detract from that. I have loved every minute; we have great players, great staff, great manager and great fans. Hopefully it can continue.'
