One last go for Hargreaves

(12-10-2010) Owen Hargreaves has confirmed that his latest comeback bid will be his last. The 29-year-old Manchester United star has not played for the club for over two years due to a series of chronic knee injuries. The Canadian-born England international has twice been close to returning in that time only to be hit by major setbacks. He confirmed on Monday that he will retire if his latest comeback does not succeed. "Owen has done everything to come back but the pain and effort has been huge,” revealed a friend of the player. "He has decided to give it one last big push but if this doesn't work that will probably be it." Hargreaves has made just 25 starts for United since a £17m move from Bayern Munich in 2007. It is hoped he will start in the Carling Cup clash with Wolves on October 26.
