Manchester United striker Owen eyeing sub impact

Michael Owen feels he can still offer Manchester United an option from the substitute’s bench.

The former England striker is now fit and available for the final games of the season.

"I can't imagine myself getting back and starting in the eleven. 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.

“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," he told MUTV's Inside Carrington programme.

"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."
