Manchester United striker Michael Owen hopes to play a part in final title push


Manchester United striker Michael Owen is getting ready to play a part in the Red Devils' final push for the Premier League title.
The 32-year-old has not featured for Manchester United since November 2 due to a thigh injury but is now back in full training.
Michael Owen said: "I can't imagine myself getting back and starting in the 11. My mindset has got to be get myself ready mentally, physically and everything else because I might be needed for 10 or 20 minutes at a late stage of the season."
He added: "Who knows? It could be the last game of the season at Sunderland.
"I might have built up enough, whether playing in a reserves game or two, and then that's fine.
"But I think the immediate thing is to get myself mentally ready, just in case the manager says, 'I'll put you on the bench' or whatever and I'll come on for 15 minutes and try to nick a goal if we're struggling."
Michael Owen has made just one Premier League appearance this season, in Manchester United's draw at Stoke in September, but scored three times in two Carling Cup outings.
