Manchester United hero Teddy Sheringham insists it's not too late for Michael Owen to make the England World Cup squad.

Owen was on the scoresheet for United in last night's victory over West Ham United.

"It is still early days, if Michael played the next four or five games and scored three or four goals then all of a sudden he's back in the good books and you'd have him in the squad," said the former Tottenham forward.

"You know he can score goals at the top level, if you give him a half chance he will take it. At the moment he is not scoring or playing, but things can change very quickly in football so we'll see."
