Owen is not being a first choice for Ferguson so far this season.
“I think if I was 19 or 20, playing really well and scoring loads of goals and being constantly on the bench, then I’d definitely have a different outlook than now, when I’ve played a long time,” he told The Mail on Sunday.
“I’ve not been left out of the squad since I’ve been there and it’s great. I feel part of the team, part of the squad.
“The manager’s said to me that I’ll play my fair share of games. In any case,’ he points out, ‘if you’d said to me in the summer, ‘You’re going to go to Manchester United and be the fourth-choice striker and start ten games and come off the bench ten times, and that’s your lot’, then I would have snapped your hand off.”
