Michael Owen insists he has no regrets over his decision to join Manchester United.

Striker happy with United challenge

Michael Owen insists he has no regrets over his decision to join Manchester United. The 31-year-old, who is out of contract at Old Trafford at the end of the season, has made just 39 appearances during his 18 months at United since arriving on a free transfer from Newcastle. Sir Alex Ferguson insists Owen still has a future at United despite his lack of regular first-team action. Owen, who is hoping to feature against his old club Liverpool in this weekend's pick of the FA Cup third-round ties, says he remains happy with his life at United. "I knew when I came here that I wouldn't play every game and it would be a bit different to what I was used to," Owen told United Review. "But I will sacrifice playing every game for the opportunity to play and train with the very top players and work under a top manager.

Loved

"I haven't been disappointed at all by my time here. I have loved every minute. "Obviously you always want to play and do your bit. And I feel as though I have scored a few goals when I've played. "At Manchester United, though, the hard part isn't scoring goals on the pitch - it's getting onto the pitch in the first place. "It's a new challenge for me and, in many ways, it's one of the appeals of being here."
