The new Manchester United striker has a 'burning desire' to get back onto the international bandwagon...
Michael Owen believes his move to Manchester United could re-ignite his international career under England manager Fabio Capello.
The former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker has been starved of opportunities to represent his country, as his injuries have largely coincided with the Italian's reign.
But Owen, who signed for The Red Devils on a free transfer on Friday after his contract at Newcastle United expired, is eager to break back into the international fold with his new club.
"Obviously, if I am fit and playing well, then I have got a better chance of getting back into the England squad and I am sure my team-mates, with their quality, will help me to do that," he told Sky Sports News.
"If I play well, then I'd like to think I can force my way back in. There are internationals coming up and I'd be a fool to say I wouldn't want to be a part of it.
"I think I have 89 caps for England and it would be great to add to that. There is a burning desire to do well for whatever team I play for."
Owen is one of the top goalscorers in England international history, scoring 40 goals in 89 games for his country.
