Owen: I am playing David Villa in Man Utd training!

Manchester United striker Michael Owen has revealed they're now planning for Barcelona in the Champions League final.

United meet Barcelona at Wembley on Saturday week and Owen says all the players are relishing the challenge.

"These are exciting times," he told MUTV at the Player of the Year awards.

"We obviously have a duty to the league to perform against Blackpool and we want to win that game, but I'd be lying if I said one eye wasn't on the Barcelona match.

"A lot of what we're doing in training is focused on stopping them. I was playing as David Villa on the left wing today in training!

"So we're starting to prepare for the final, but we'll certainly be focused on the Blackpool game on Sunday."
