Michael Owen has inadvertently been great craic on Twitter this morning after he accidentally sparked a great #whatadickiebirdtoldMichaelOwen hashtag.
It's genesis came out of Owen hinting at possible new signings for United but the reaction from the Twittersphere has been much more interesting.
So, Juan Mata is on the verge of a move to United. A little dickie bird tells me there is more good news for United fans coming soon! #tease
