Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists Michael Owen will get his chance.
"He has not been involved much and I explained that to him," said Ferguson. "The season has not really started. Because of the internationals we are not really playing Saturday-Wednesday.
"So Owen doesn't come into the equation because we are trying to get a blend of Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney. Owen will play plenty of games, just maybe not early in the season.
"Rooney has started well, that's the first thing to say. We need a couple of players to get us more than 20 goals as our goal ratio last season was very poor. We only scored 68 league goals. It was an unusual one, but Wayne has five league goals already this campaign and that's terrific."
