Owen keen to make mark

Manchester United striker Michael Owen is aiming to hand manager Sir Alex Ferguson another selection dilemma in the Barclays Premier League title run-in.

Owen has been a virtual onlooker this season as United have roared to the brink of a record 20th title, one of the more long-term absentees from a Red Devils squad that has been ravaged by injury.

"I have to get myself to a stage where I could be available for the last four or five matches. To a certain extent that would be my job done," Owen said. "If I am available, should we get an injury or need a goal in the last 10 minutes then I am there and the manager knows I have a track record that suggests I can do something."
