Owen Hargreaves is aiming to be in the Manchester United team for the first game of the season.

The summer signing travelled with his new team-mates on the trip to Asia, but failed to feature in any of the four games due to a knee injury.

He is desperate to turn out for United and is hoping to be fit to figure in the champions' opening match against Reading on 12th August.

"I am just dying to play and have the chance to get that top on for the first time," said Hargreaves.

"There are some big games coming up, but my goal is to be there on the opening day of the season."

The former Bayern Munich midfielder also accepts that he will not be guaranteed a spot in Sir Alex Ferguson's side due to the manager's wealth of options.

He added: "Not every player is going to play in every game. That is a fact.

"The important thing for all of us is that Manchester United needs to be successful.

"If we all miss a few games, but end up with a couple of cups in our hands, I am sure everyone would be very happy indeed."

From Daily Express:

But the injury has finally improved and Hargreaves, according to Ferguson, will resume full training on Tuesday. And if he comes through without a reaction, he could be in line to make his belated debut in the showpiece friendly against Italian champions Inter Milan at Old Trafford 24 hours later.

With Scholes out with injury, we'll need Hargreaves to get his match fitness back asap.
