Man Utd boss Ferguson: I REALLY want to give Owen more minutes

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Michael Owen has a big role to play - possibly as early as today's derby.

Fergie reckons Owen will be his secret weapon for the rest of the season.

The United boss said: "I keep trying to get myself into a situation where I can play Michael Owen more.

"I'd like to be more fair that way because he's a bloody good player.>p> "I'm trying to get him back in the team because he never lets me down.

"In and around the box he's so dangerous and he has terrific experience of big games. That could prove vital."
