Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen is backing his old club to come out on top in their FA Cup game against Derby County on Thursday night.
United travel to Pride Park looking to continue their fine run of form and book their place in the last eight of the competition.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, who drew 1-1 with Everton in their last outing, will come face-to-face with former United captain Wayne Rooney, who joined the Rams in January.
Phillip Cocu’s side currently sit 13th in the Championship and come into the game on the back of a 3-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday.
“Since his arrival from DC United, Wayne Rooney has been a key influence on and off the field at Derby County with some fans at Old Trafford wishing that he had come back to Manchester instead,” Owen explained in his BetVictor blog as he backed United to win 2-0.
“The United legend will be keen to torment his old side as they visit Pride Park on Thursday evening.
“However, since the arrival of Bruno Fernandes, the Red Devils have looked much more convincing in possession and I see them making it an unhappy reunion for Wayne Rooney.”
