Remember Me, Fergie?

MICHAEL OWEN fired a timely reminder to Alex Ferguson by reaching another scoring milestone and rescuing a point for Manchester United.

The former England striker has had a bit-part role this season but headed a late equaliser within three minutes of climbing off the bench.

It was his 200th club career goal in England and his third in a week after his double against Scunthorpe in midweek.

The Old Trafford manager missed that as he was on a scouting mission in Spain that night - so Owen made his point to the boss again yesterday.
Afterwards he said: "Scoring goals has always been part of my career, but this is tinged with a bit of disappointment at not getting three points. Reaching 200 is something I'd rather have than not have.

"But now we will focus on next week and on the Champions League.

"Bolton is always a tough place to come, but we created enough chances and dominated most of the game so we are disappointed."

Owen admitted United were kicking themselves for failing to capitalise on slips by Chelsea and Arsenal over the weekend.

He said: "The mood in the dressing room is one of frustration. We wanted to get the three points. "And, with the way the results went at the weekend, it was an opportunity to close that gap at the top, but it wasn't to be.
