Neville: Man Utd can lead Owen to World Cup

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Fri, 07/10/2009 - 10:34

Manchester United captain Gary Neville is delighted with the arrival of Michael Owen - and backs him for an England recall.

He said: “It’s difficult for me to suggest whether a player is going to get picked for a tournament next year. That will be up to the manager.

“But anyone who plays for United over a season has a great chance of getting into an international team, no matter whether it be England or any other country.

“It’s a hard club to play for and if you are playing well and doing well, then you have a great chance.”

Owen’s move to Old Trafford from Newcastle is one of the summer’s talking points.

But with England close to qualifying for the World Cup finals next year, Neville knows the move could well benefit club and country.

He added: “I don’t think Michael moved to United for England. He’s moved to improve Manchester United.

“But the opportunity is there for him.”
