  ON TARGET ... Michael Owen in action against Malaysia XI

   

   

  MICHAEL OWEN looked back to his best as he scored his second goal in two games.

  The Manchester United striker, who joined on a free transfer earlier this month, played 62 minutes in an easy win over a Malaysia XI. Italian whizkid Federico Macheda opened the scoring for United with a simple tap-in on 11 minutes. And just seconds later, Owen doubled the lead with a typical clean strike — leaving Alex Ferguson full of praise for his attackers.

  The United boss said: "I am pleased that Macheda and Owen have struck up a good partnership. "It was a typical Owen goal. He reacted first as he did the other night and his whole contribution was very good.

  Ferguson rang the changes throughout the second half with big-hitters Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand getting a run-out.

  United squandered a hatful of chances as they pushed for a third. Rooney, Anderson and Dimitar Berbatov all failed to hit the target from close range.
