Fergie happy with Hargreaves

Sir Alex Ferguson is pleased with how Owen Hargreaves' rehabilitation is progressing. The England international has been sidelined for more than 12 months following surgery on both his knees. Manchester United are hoping that ground-breaking surgery will help Hargreaves overcome tendinitis, something he has suffered since before his move to Old Trafford from Bayern Munich. The 28-year-old is slowly stepping up his training regime, but United have included him in their UEFA Champions League squad and they are looking at a possible return in November. "Owen is doing very well," said Ferguson. "Obviously he is delighted to be back because it has been such a long time and I am very pleased with his progress. "We will probably get him into football training in 10 days' time and depending on how well he does he should be back at the beginning of November. "We will take our time because the important thing is to get him playing to the right level. We are in dialogue with him all the time and the physio who was doing his rehabilitation over in America. "It means we can jointly understand all the treatments and rehabilitation he has been doing."
