Hargreaves booster for United
OWEN Hargreaves is back and determined to play a major role in securing silverware for United for years to come. United and England's £18m midfielder has had two knee operations since his last game for the Reds at Chelsea in September 2008. Following 18 months of pain Hargreaves finally admitted defeat and went to the USA for surgery last winter. He returned to United's Carrington training HQ just over two weeks ago after a long-haul rehabilitation programme in Colorado. "It is difficult to say an exact date but I do feel I can see light at the end of the tunnel now," the 28-year-old told M.E.N. Sport in his first newspaper interview since returning to England. "Coming back to Manchester was a big step. Having people from United around me also makes me realise I am getting closer. "I am coming back and I am coming back for good, not for a week or two. I am coming back to have a massive effect and to play well and for us to win titles. "I want to get back as soon as I can but it is not about getting back for one game or for one day, I want to come back and be back for another six or eight years. "I have thought about playing again a lot. I cannot wait to walk out at Old Trafford again. "The fans have been so great and the reception I have had from people has been fantastic so I want to repay that faith and kindness. "It is human nature to have doubts obviously. I had little moments, but I never had one moment of major doubt that I'd be back.'' Read the full interview later this morning Will Hargreaves go straight into the first team? Have your say.
