Owen joined United on a free transfer this summer, after his contract with Newcastle United expired.
Robson said: “It is a great signing, getting someone like Michael in on a free transfer.
“He is a great player. He is only 29 and for me he is in the peak of his career.
“The way United play and the way they dominate possession it will suit Michael’s game.”
He added: “He will be in and around the box and I can see him scoring a lot of goals.
“I can also see him getting back in the England squad. The manager is very good at when to rest players and when to play them.
“He rotates his squad and that will help Michael.”
