His best days are long gone, numerous injuries to his hamstrings have depleted him of the pace that used to terrorize defences around Europe but he's a natural poacher and will always know the route to goal.
He'll be playing in a far better side with United and if he scores goals there then an England call up won't be out of the question, and let's face it, a relatively fit Michael Owen is probably still a better option than the likes of Defoe, Carlton Cole and Gabriel Agbonlahor when it comes to naming the world cup squad.

A fit Michael Owen is the optimum, and I think even he will tell you he has lost that extra yard of pace that used to terrorise Prem defences, but if he can keep fit he will score goals for United because they make chances for fun when they're on song. Even so they're going to have a hell of a job to replace Ronaldo, love him or hate him he was good player, with just one fault, he thought it was a foul if anybody took the ball of him and his toys came out the pram
