Manchester United's Owen Hargreaves on road to recovery after second knee operation

Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has taken the first hesitant steps on the road to full fitness after having a second knee operation.

The £17million midfielder was on crutches after surgery in Colorado to fix the long-standing tendinitis problem that is threatening to wreck his career.

The 28-year-old is due back in England this week to start rehabilitation and hopes to take part in pre-season training.

But time could be running out on his plans to revive an England career that has earned him 42 caps.

A source close to the player said: 'Owen hopes the operation was successful but we have to wait and see.'
