Hargreaves set for United comeback?
Sir Alex Ferguson has challenged Owen Hargreaves to prove his fitness before Manchester United’s Champions League clash with AC Milan later this month. The England midfielder is back in training following surgery on both knees that has kept him out of the game for 18 months. "I would like to seem him make the squad for the Champions League fixtures against AC Milan, but we won't rush him,” revealed Fergie on Tuesday. "We are being patient with the rehabilitation following his knee operations and he is alternating his training with the reserve and first-team squads, working for two days and then resting a day. It's a matter of him regaining his confidence and, when he is able to train every day, that will be the moment for him to return to match play." Hargreaves cost United £18m from Bayern Munich but has hardly featured for the club.
