Michael Owen has taken steps on the road to a first-team return for Manchester United by taking part in a training session.

Owen has not featured for United since picking up a thigh injury in a Champions League group phase match against Otelul Galati in November.

The forward has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, but he appears to still have the resolve to get back to the highest level and is on the recovery trail following a long period of rehabilitation.

Owen trained alone at Carrington on Wednesday, as United prepare for the second leg of their Europa League last-32 clash against Ajax at Old Trafford.

United won the first-leg 2-0 in Amsterdam last week and are on course for a last-16 meeting with either Lokomotiv Moscow or Athletic Bilbao next month.
