Owen Hargreaves Will Be Like A New Signing For Manchester United Once Fit - Paul Ince
Former Red Devil longing for midfielder's return.
Milton Keynes Dons manager Paul Ince, 42, a two-time Premier League winner with Manchester United in the early 1990s, believes the return of Owen Hargreaves should be welcomed by both Manchester United and England fans. The anchoring midfielder would be like a new signing, claimed Ince.
He told Press Association Sport: "Sir Alex Ferguson must feel he's worth it to persist with him for such a long time, he's a fantastic player."I like the way he plays and he has been missed at Man United and England. If you get him fit it'll be like having a new player, not only for Manchester United but for England as well."
Hargreaves has been dogged by a series of knee injuries, and has required two surgeries in order to rid him of the tendinitis problem. There was initial trepidation over the player's future, but United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes he could be fit for the Champions League clash against Wolfsburg in a week's time.
"He's been out for so long that it's nice to see him back on the pitch where he belongs," concluded Ince.
