Michael Owen's management company is snapping up top young talent ahead of the former Liverpool, Manchester United and England striker becoming an agent, writes the Sunday People.

I can reveal MOM Sports, owned and operated by Owen’s advisor and friend Simon Marsh, have signed Manchester City’s Emyr Huws, a 19-year-old academy graduate.

He is captain of City’s Under-21 side and a Wales Under-21 international.

Huws fits the profile of the type of youngster Owen, 33, is looking to mentor once he quits playing for Stoke at the end of the season.

Owen believes he is uniquely placed to offer guidance and support to developing players having won his first cap aged 18 and had a long career in the spotlight.

Guidetti played ok & scored ?

Ohh crikey.

I don't know if I should criticise Guidetti for not being in the first team NOW or criticise the management for not putting him in the first team NOW.

Because, in real life, everything happens NOW.

A lad I know his son plays for city under 14, not going to mention his name but Michael Owen turned up unannounced at his house asking to be his agent, bit young at that age if you ask me, Owen is obviously casting his net

Mixed feelings. Can look very good and certainly has a good eye for a pass.I loved that he was racing into the box tonight to score from Guidetti's cross. (he did play one shocking pass tonight which nearly gave a goal away) Not convinced he has enough about him in tougher games.

Rapper Jay - Z is a sports agent now. Why not Owen?
