Neville backs OwenEverton midfielder Phillip Neville thinks fit-again Michael Owen can fire for England in the upcoming international fixtures.
He said: "Michael was fantastic all of last week with the B squad and he really looked fit and sharp. Every side needs a Michael Owen in the team. We are just glad he is back and raring to go.
"He saves his goals for the big games and hopefully he is saving his goals for Brazil and the most important game which is Estonia next week.
"Michael Owen scares all kinds of defences and his record in international football is second to none, almost a goal every other game.
"We've also probably got the freshest footballer in the squad at the moment in Michael Owen who is just desperate to play football.
"He's not lost his pace but then I've never ever questioned that because he looks so sharp and it is just so good to have him back and good he is available for England."
