Michael Owen has declared himself "fit and ready to go" for his second season with Manchester United.
The 30-year-old striker had ruptured his hamstring last season but is feeling in tip-top condition now, saying to the Sun: "When you're coming back, in some training sessions you feel absolutely great and then in others you feel heavy legged.
"But now I feel fine, fit and ready to go."
Owen believes that he is ready to compete for a starting place with new signings Javier Hernandez and Bebe, saying: "Gone are the days when you were selfish about your football.
"The club employ you to benefit them and do what is best for them, so whenever you're called upon you are ready."
Owen also gave an insight to how Hernandez was fitting in at Old Trafford.
"The fans are really excited about the new signings, particularly Javier. He looks really sharp in training and in games.
"It's difficult to come from another country with different food and different weather, particularly at the turn of the year in England when it's freezing cold every day.
"It will be interesting to see how Javier settles in, but so far so good."
