Owen back for United

Michael Owen could return from injury for Manchester United’s Carling Cup fourth-round tie at home to Wolves tomorrow.

Owen resumed training after a groin injury last week and is set to return in a much-changed side after scoring twice in the 5-2 win at Scunthorpe in the last round.

Wayne Rooney will be out until next month with his ankle injury while Ryan Giggs (hamstring) and Jonny Evans (hip) are also sidelined.

Team (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, O’Shea, Brown, Rafael, Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Smalling, Evra, Fabio, Nani, Obertan, Scholes, Fletcher, Carrick, Gibson, Anderson, Park, Giggs, Owen, Berbatov, Macheda, Hernandez.
