Manchester United considering letting Owen Hargreaves go

Question

Owen Hargreaves is the 29-year-old English player that currently is a part of the Manchester United squad and plays as a defensive midfielder.
He came to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window of 2007 and since then has only managed to make thirty nine appearances in the first team squad with only two goals scored which is still a really a good score keeping in mind that he is a defender.
Hargreaves used to play for the maverick German side Bayern Munich since 2000 and after a hundred and forty five appearances made he made a move to the English Premier League to Manchester United at a fee of around seventeen million pounds.
Hargreaves has suffered numerous injuries and constantly kept being benched because of a knee problem which made him undergo a surgery afterwards.
The problem also threatened his career but he came back from it better than ever and is working hard to make more of himself.
He did come on in the match against the Wolverhampton wolves which was his first appearance after a full two years but it came to a disappointing end as after only six minutes play he was seen moving back to the stands as he suffered a hamstring injury.
This English national only has six months left in his contract with the Red Devils and the club does not seem to keen on keeping this player.
As a spokesman from the club commented on the matter by saying that they believe in the pay as you play image and this player has not been able to come back to his former level and has not been consistent with his form.
It is rumoured that Manchester United is going to let Hargreaves walk on a free transfer and if this does happen then the club will indeed be losing around thirty five million pounds on him as he was a big long term investment that did not pay out.
Owen has been a part of the English national team since 2000, starting with the under twenty one team to the second to making it finally to the Three Lions first team squad in 2001 and he was even a long standing part of the squad till 2008 and made forty
two appearances.
