Wayne Rooney has no doubts that Michael Owen has what it takes to succeed at Manchester United.
Owen had an excellent start to his United career, coming on as a late substitute to score the winner against a Malaysia XI.
Speaking to reporters after the match, Rooney suggested that it would be the first of many goals to come for the former Liverpool star.
He said, "I didn’t have any idea he was going to sign, but we are delighted as a team to get him.
"He is a great goalscorer and a good finisher and I think the move will give him a new lease of life. Over the last couple of years he has had some criticism, but to be honest, it would have been difficult for any player to score in that Newcastle team.
"I have played with Michael that many times for England, so I know him well. He has looked really sharp in training and is working very hard.
"You could see by the way all the lads celebrated how pleased they were for him when he scored."
Owen will have another chance to add to his tally tonight against the same opponents, after United cancelled their game in Indonesia due to the recent bomb blasts.
