Owen Hargreaves is confident he will return from major knee surgery as a better player. The Manchester United midfielder has been ruled out until the summer after having operations on both knees to cure a long-standing tendinitis problem that first surfaced two years before his £18.6million move from Bayern Munich. After an extensive rehabilitation programme in the United States, under the direction of renowned Colorado-based surgeon Dr Richard Steadman, Hargreaves is now back at United's Carrington training complex, where he will step up his work even further. Hargreaves is hoping to be fit for the start of next season, and eager to make up for lost time.
