Tevez was stunned by the stick he endured on his first outing in Manchester City’s colours at his former club.
And Jamie Carragher is predicting a similar unfriendly response for Owen from Liverpool fans when the former Kop idol heads back to Anfield on October 25 in a United shirt.
Carragher said: "Our fans are usually brilliant with former players but he might get a cool reception.
"You can understand the fans' point of view. He used to play for us and now he’s at the big rivals, so of course there will be some reaction.
"That’s football and Michael will know that. He has a very strong character so stick doesn't bother him."
Carragher is still good pals with Owen and backs his decision to sign up for Liverpool’s biggest rivals.
He added: "Michael’s got his career to think about. He wants to get his name back up there.
"He wants to play Champions League football and get into the World Cup squad. The move gives him that opportunity."
