Owen: I still have two years left at the top

Manchester United striker Michael Owen insists he still has at last two more years at the top level despite his present injury problems.

Owen has made only four appearances for the Red Devils this season, and none since November, since when he has been sidelined by a thigh problem.

It has merely compounded the problems he has suffered throughout the latter years of his career, having exploded on to the scene as a teenager in the 1998 World Cup and then become England’s fourth-highest goalscorer.
