Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has soothed
fears over midfielder Owen Hargreaves' long-term
fitness.
Hargreaves is currently undergoing his rehabilitation after
surgery on both of his knees to fix a long-standing problem.
The England international originally had an operation last
autumn after making just three appearances for United during the
early weeks of the season.
He subsequently underwent a second bout of surgery in January
and is now back at United's Carrington training ground to continue
his recovery.
However, there have been reports that the most recent operation
has not been a complete success and it had placed a question mark
over Hargreaves being fit for the start of the next campaign.
Ferguson has moved to quash the rumours and believes the
28-year-old is on course to be back in the Premier League leaders'
plans over the summer.
The United chief said in the Daily Mail: "His
operations have gone perfectly well, he's feeling good."
