Owen: Man Utd still have another gear to find

Michael Owen has no doubts Manchester United still have another gear to find.

He is convinced there is plenty of time for Sir Alex Ferguson's men to steamroller their way to a fourth successive crown.

He explained: "As an outsider for many years, the image I have of United is of a team that only hits the top gear at Christmas.

"We're looking to do that again.

"I remember a lot of unbeaten runs in the latter part of seasons and, looking at our fixtures, we are aiming to embark on one of those now.

"We've got a good chance as we don't play any of the big teams again until the end of January. So there is definitely no need to panic.''
