A little rumour filtering through suggests that Owen Hargreaves has finally said that he feels ready to make his long awaited comeback from injury and is being pencilled in for next Thursday’s Reserve game which I believe is against Manchester City (hmmmm….)

If this is true then it is obviously great news especially with Anderson out for the rest of the season but I think anyone connected with Manchester United will be watching him with one hand covering their eyes whenever he goes in for one of those crunching tackles.

I hope that his injuries are now all behind him but the news about Michael Owen this morning has just served to curb any great optimism I might have had that this will actually be the case.
