Hargreaves signed for United in 2007 for around £17 million from
Bayern Munich and won the Premier League and the Champions League
in his first season at Old Trafford.
However, he was far from a regular in the side due to a catalogue
of injuries which restricted him to only 16 league starts.
This season has been no different and Hargreaves has made only one
league start, in the 2-1 defeat to Liverpool, this season as the
result of his struggles with tendonitis.
"We are managing the situation as best we can," Sir Alex Ferguson
was quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.
"It is not an easy one because there is no doubt he is having some
pain.
"But he is getting better. We will give it another week and then
probably send him back to the specialist in Leicester."
"Owen is young enough to recover," Ferguson added of the
27-year-old.
"The specialist is happy with it. He thinks Owen is on the right
way.
"It is frustrating though. It is such a tender bit at the front of
the knee, but I think he will be okay."
