Owen fit and ready to fire for Man Utd

Michael Owen has revealed that he has been in full training for a few weeks and says he is ready to fire for Manchester United.

The 31-year old, who has made just one Premier League start this season, has been out of action since injuring a hamstring against Sunderland on October 2 but insists he is ready to help the club through a cluttered schedule.

"I'm fit and I've been in full training for three-and-a-half weeks," he told the club's official website.

"The hard bit now is getting back into the side, trying to force my way back into the squad. That's not easy at Manchester United.

"There are that many quality players at United that you're given as much time as you need to come back from injury.

"I injured my hamstring at the beginning of October, which kept me out for six weeks.

"Since then I've been able to train fully and work my way back up to full fitness - now I'm fit and hope to play a part in the games over Christmas."
