Owen Hargreaves offered to play for free at Manchester United – English Premier League
Owen Hargreaves ha revealed that he offered to play for free at Manchester United this season but the club decided otherwise. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Owen-Hargreaves-c28918 arrived at Old Trafford in the summer of 2007 when Manchester United paid 17 million
pounds for the Englishman to lure him away from Bayern Munich in Bundesliga. Owen who is a Canadian national as well was seen as one of the foremost defensive midfielder’s in the world during his time at Bayern Munich where he won the UEFA Champions League.
When Manchester United bought the English midfielder, he already had bad knees due to his tendinitis problem.
As Ferguson and his team needed the Englishman to feature for them right away they resumed his temporary treatment alongside his appearances in the Premier League as well as the UEFA Champions League. Hargreaves soon became a favourite
at Old Trafford as his most impressive display came against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 from a free kick in a must win match for Manchester United in the English Premier League.
Hargreaves also started the UEFA Champions League final for Manchester United in 2008. However after the 2008 season, the English midfielder became bogged down with injury and despite having two operations on his knees, the defensive
enforcer was unable to make a successful comeback. Last season, Hargreaves was given one final chance of making his comeback from injury as Ferguson started him in United’s league tie against Wolverhampton Wanderers but after just six minutes on the field,
Hargreaves tore his hamstring muscle and suffered a calf injury as well.
Soon after he dislocated his shoulder whilst regaining his fitness in a reserve team match which proved to be the final nail in his coffin at Manchester United. In his bid to stay with the English champions, Owen Hargreaves even
offered to play for free in the 2011-2012 season as he stated, "At one stage I did offer to play for nothing this season, just to stay on. But they said, 'You don't want to do that' and they were probably right."
Hargreaves also stated, "I don't blame them for letting me go. I can understand it. There comes a point when you have to say this hasn't worked out. The game has moved on. See you later, all the best." Speaking about his future
in football, Hargreaves sounded confident of making a comeback as Roy Hodgson’s West Bromwich Albion are one of the clubs who are keen on offering the Englishman a new contract.
