Manchester United Midfielder Owen Hargreaves Is 'Feeling Good' - Sir Alex Ferguson

The United boss has spoken out over the current state of Hargreaves' rehabilitation. The Scot has given his assurances that the midfielder’s recovery is going to plan...

Owen Hargreaves has been a long-term absentee from Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United first team plans due to a recurring knee injury.

During the 2007-08 campaign he only featured intermittently, but he has received two operations this season in order to remedy his problematic patella tendonitis, a condition when jumping and landing exercises cause too much strain on the tissue and the tendon in the knee.

Both of his knees have been subject to the tendonitis and have consequently both been operated on.

According to various reports, the Canadian-born England international has now made a return to Manchester United's Carrington training ground in a bid to continue with his rehabilitation.

Sir Alex Ferguson has moved to quash the fears that the latest operation, which took place in January, had not been a success.

The moxie Scot believes his defensive midfielder will have made a full recovery, and will be ready for extended first team action, over the summer.

He told the Daily Mail, "His operations have gone perfectly well, he's feeling good."
