Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted that Chris Eagles is ready to
become a part of Manchester United's first-team
picture.
Over the last few seasons Eagles has barely been seen at Old
Trafford as he has spent time on loan at Watford, Sheffield
Wednesday and Dutch outfit NEC Nijmegen.
Eagles, though, returned to United for the latter part of last
season and was involved in their successful run-in to the Premier
League title, scoring a memorable goal at Everton on the way.
Now Eagles has played his part in United's pre-season tour of Asia
and he seems to have impressed Ferguson.
"Chris Eagles has matured and improved a lot since he came back to
us," said Ferguson.
"He is still only 21 and he has got a great future ahead of
him."
