Man Utd boss Ferguson says Owen could start

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Michael Owen could start today at Liverpool.

Although the boss stopped short of guaranteeing the former Liverpool striker a place in his eleven, he did hint at a possible start. That could yet become probable, with Wayne Rooney still having to prove his fitness on the training ground.

"Michael's got a chance [of starting]," said Sir Alex on Friday.

"When he came on against CSKA he did very well. His movement really started to trouble his opponents. I was pleased with that contribution, even though it was only 30 minutes.

"He has been doing very well and has been an excellent professional for us."
