Patrick Vieira expects Owen Hargreaves to excel at Manchester City
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Owen-Hargreaves-c28918 to excel at the Etihad Stadium.
City signed the former Manchester Untied midfielder on a free, as United had ended their contract with the player due to the constant injuries that he kept picking up.
Since his move to City, the midfielder has not managed to make a single appearance for the club. However, despite that fact it is now believed that Hargreaves will be starting out for City in their game against Birmingham in the Carling Cup tonight.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 has gone ahead and placed a lot of faith on the player’s shoulders and expects him to prove his worth to the world in the near future.
Vieira is another person who strongly feels that the midfielder can salvage his career before it is a little too late.
“Owen is a good player, he’s been unlucky with the injuries he’s suffered in the last few years, but he’s a good player,” Vieira told reporters.
“There is no doubt about his talent and I believe he can be successful for this football club.|
Vieira continued: “He’s got the experience. He’s won the Champions League twice and he’s been successful throughout his career in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, winning league titles.
“That sort of experience can only help the club.”
City have decided to use Hargreaves, mainly because the team’s midfield is currently down in numbers due to injuries picked up by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/James-Milner-c17706.
Nonetheless, Mancini has revealed that he did not sign Hargreaves just to keep him on the bench and that he would have used the player in the Carling Cup, irrelevant of the state of the rest of his midfield.
It is now a wait to see just how Hargreaves performs, after spending almost all of his career in England out on the recovery table.
