    I'd like to see him retire from international football and just concentrate on United, even if the World Cup is just around the corner, because it's not exactly helping matters. It's not as if he'd make the first team anyway, since Barry has an iron grip over that position.

    IF he can get fit, it will be like a new signing. He has a lot to prove in my eyes... I just hope it's not a case of us getting our hopes up for nothing, again.

    This is great news, I'm delighted. I was hoping he would come back before January. If he gets back to full fitness and full form by the end of the season then he has every chance of making the World Cup squad, and I really hope he does.

    A thing to consider is that I doubt Capello would let somebody miss all the qualifiers, the time when squads become teams, and then come to the World Cup.

    is this why fergie says he isnt buying any more players ?

    lets pray he doesnt pick anything else up when he does come back.

    often long term injured players get niggles after comeback in oher areas

    Can't find the injury thread so i'll post this here.

    SAF talking about Hargreaves

    “He won’t be playing,(tomorrow)” Ferguson said. “He’s still in America, actually. We were hoping he’d join us here but he’s still undergoing his rehabilitation. Remember, it was a major operation in both knees. He’ll come back once he’s fully fit but we won’t be rushing him.”

    Yet another setback , is it just me or does anybody else think he will never be the same again.
    I wish fergie had spent some of the squillions of pounds we have in the bank on a quality midfield player

    I read a really interesting article from a Sports Physio about Hargos injury and treatment. Apparently one of the key elements to a successful outcome is resting time post op. He was suggesting that January would be a realistic time for his return and was surprised that people were talking about September and October. He also reckoned that given that amount of time the op should be 100% successful and that if it wasnt then Hargo would be unlikely to play again. Cant remember where I read it or I would supply a link.
