Owen is now taking it step by step hoping that he’ll play some part against Bolton at the Reebok on Sunday, later that week we will be traveling to Spain to take on Valencia in our second Champions League group match.
Ferguson told MUFC: “It does give me a problem.
“I have known it was going to be a problem since the start of the season, that is why I let Danny Welbeck go to Sunderland and Mame Biram Diouf to Blackburn on loan.
“The form of Dimitar Berbatov has meant that other players have taken a back seat, which is unfortunate for them because they are good players.”
I really want to see more of Michael Owen and I believe that he’ll be looking for more then just playing in the Carling Cup. He’s too good of a player for that. I’m sure coming on off the bench would suit him and you can be sure if he stays fit we’ll get goals out of him!
I think we’re fine and the best thing for Owen is coming off the bench right now. Berbatov is in form and Rooney is finding his form.
