MICHAEL OWEN scored twice and Ryan Giggs slotted home a second-half hat-trick as Manchester United ended their Asian tour by hammering Hangzhou Greentown 8-2. Dimitar Berbatov, Zoran Tosic and Nani were also on the scoresheet.

United manager Alex Ferguson was particularly pleased with Owen. “Owen’s overall play is well- suited to us,” he said. “He is very clever in the last third. He knows when to run and when to hold his runs. The experience he gives in that position is vital.”
