Neville backs Owen for England
Updated on 10 July 2009
Gary Neville believes Michael Owen's move to Manchester United can help his England career.
The striker, who joined United from Newcastle this summer, has found himself frozen out of the international picture under Fabio Capello.
But Neville said: "Anyone who plays for United over a season has a great chance of getting into an international team, no matter whether it be England or any other country.
"It's a hard club to play for and if you're playing well and doing well then you have a great chance.
"I don't think Michael moved to United for England. He's moved to improve Manchester United. But the opportunity is there for him."
