Ferguson cool on Hargreaves return
Manchester United, 12:53, April 14, 2010 ,
Sir Alex Ferguson has played down suggestions that Own Hargreaves will play for Manchester United again this season.
The England international hasn't featured for United since September 2008 after having operations on both his knees in a bid to cure a long-standing problem.
Hargreaves was on the bench for the recent 2-1 defeat to Chelsea and was expected to feature for the club before the end of the season.
However, Ferguson has now played down that possibility, claiming that there is plenty of competition for places in United's midfield and that Hargreaves isn't guaranteed a spot.
"It is difficult to say when Owen will be back; he is training well and I had him in the squad for the Chelsea game," stated Ferguson.
"His training performances have been fine but I think at the moment midfield is not an issue for us because we have plenty of alternatives."
