Manchester United manager Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 can still play a major role for the club in the title race.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 man has carved a frustrated figure ever since his arrival at Old Trafford, although he has had his share of brilliant moments.
From his injury time winner against Manchester City to his hat-trick against Wolfsburg in the UEFA Champions League, Owen has set the stage alight on occasion.
However injuries have played a major part in keeping him on the sidelines and his potential has been stunted to a certain extent. This season his goal tally has been impressive considering his appearances, although he has fallen down the pecking order behind

Although expected to leave during the summer, he has reiterated that he will stay will the reigning champions as a bit part player instead of going down lower leagues in search of regular game time.
His experience though could come in handy for the title race, as the Reds are on top of the Premier League and have several tricky games before the season concludes.
Sir Alex Ferguson has now claimed that the striker could return to the first team fold and help the side retain their trophy.
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Owen's been training with the first-team for about a week now," revealed the manager. "That's good news. If there's a player who can score an important goal at any stage of the match it's him. When he gets an injury it's never an easy one - it's
months rather than weeks. It's unfortunate because he's a fantastic striker.”
"We want to try and get Michael back. If we get him back and he continues his training, he'll be in contention as a sub. He won't be involved on Sunday, though. But for his injuries, who's to say what sort of career he'd have had?"
United are five points clear on top of the Premier League and could potentially extend that lead when they take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 this weekend at home, before facing Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium next week.
