Ahead of United's game against Owen's former club Liverpool, the United boss believes that Owen could play for United for many of years to come.
"He is only just starting with us," Fergie said ahead of the game at Anfield where Owen will be returning to his former club for the first time as a United player.
"He has only been here a few months and I hope the boy is here for a long time.
"I think he is well capable of doing that. He is showing he is a terrific professional, he lives his life the right way and there are no complications with him."
