Owen’s single focus

Michael Owen wants to start banging in goals for Manchester United rather than reclaim his England place. Ever since Owen signed for the reigning EPL champions in June after an ill-fated four years at Newcastle, speculation has been rife regarding his return to the England squad. England coach Fabio Capello has even admitted a "torment" over Owen. But the striker is only focussed on one thing. "England is something I don't really think about," he confessed. "I have played for England 89 times and I would love to play for England again. But I am concentrating on playing for Manchester United. I genuinely go to bed thinking that I have got to play well the next day and win games for Manchester United, not that if I score I might get picked for England."
