Owen fit for United
Date published: 23 December 2010
MANCHESTER United striker Michael Owen has declared himself fit for the club’s Christmas fixtures.
The former Liverpool and Newcastle United forward has been absent since suffering a hamstring injury in the Barclays Premier League leaders’ goalless draw at Sunderland on October 2.
United face Sunderland again at Old Trafford on Boxing Day before travelling to Birmingham two days later and then West Brom on New Year’s Day.
Owen said: “I’m fit and I’ve been in full training for three–and–a–half weeks.
“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.”
United remain unbeaten and have taken advantage of Chelsea’s recent loss of form to move top of the table with three successive wins.
