Owen scored his first hat-trick for the club in the 3-1 win over the Germans in the Champions League.
“[It means] a lot, obviously I have scored a few hat-tricks in my time but it’s always nice to score a hat-trick and it probably capped off a great team performance obviously,” he told Sky Sports after the game.
“Me getting the three goals will probably grab the headlines but I thought it was a great team performance.”
United were forced to field Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick as centre-backs due to injuries.
“Obviously having so many players out we had to try and protect our back three,” explained the striker.
“Europe’s a different type of football to domestic and obviously if you get one chance you have to stick it away and thankfully we nicked one just before half time.”
Owen is hoping for a favourable draw in the knockout stages of the Champions League after helping Untied finish as group winners.
“It’s great being top of the league, so we play at home second, I’m not going to lie you want a weak a side as possible,” he added.
“Having said that if a team has got to first or second in the Champions League there really are no weak sides but you want to avoid the big guns.”
