The 32-year-old struggled to earn a regular first-team slot at Old Trafford in the wake of injuries and competition from the likes of Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck for a starting berth but expects to have found a new side by the time that the transfer window shuts.
"I have been in contact with quite a few teams and I definitely expect to be donning a new shirt quite soon," he told Sky Sports.

 Owen responds to suggestions that he is close to joining the Toffees by insisting that they are "just rumours", with his next club still unknown |
"I've said before I'd prefer that to be in the Premier League and that remains the case.
