Hargreaves return imminent

Hargreaves has been out of action for more than a year due to a long-standing tendinitis problem in both of his knees.

“Owen is doing a lot of good work now,” Fergie said.

“He is making great progress, which we are very pleased about.

“It is not a thing you have to rush because he has been out a year.

“We have to monitor it a bit more closely but he is giving us good signs.

“He should be back in the first-team level in three weeks from now, easily.”
