OWEN HARGREAVES could be back training inside a month.
And he is desperately hoping Manchester United will renew their bid
to buy him in the January transfer window.
Bayern Munichs midfielder went close to moving to Old Trafford in
the summer, after manager Alex Ferguson tabled a bid of around
£10million.
The England star even went public on his desire to quit the German
giants, sparking a fierce row between the clubs.
United lost out in the bust-up, with Bayern digging in their heels
and refusing to sell. But Hargreaves, who broke his left leg in a
Bundesliga match a month ago, hopes he can still become a United
player.
He declared: The more I play for England, the more top English
clubs will see me. At the time, I said it would be very
interesting for me and it was something I wanted to do. My club had
a different view and that is their right. But at the moment I am
getting fit and, when I am playing well again, I think those things
will arise once more.
Hargreaves is making steady progress following his freak fracture.
He added: Its a bit of a slow process but the injury is healing
well.
Im looking forward to getting off the crutches, walking normally
and then getting fit after that.
They say bones heal in six weeks or so and I am in my fourth week
now.
I think another four weeks, hopefully, and then Ill be training
once more.
