Manchester United confirm midfielder Owen Hargreaves will leave at the end of the season
Owen Hargreaves will leave Manchester United at the end of this season after Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed the injury-ravaged England midfielder will not be offered a new contract.
Hargreaves endured a miserable four-year spell at Old Trafford as tendinitis in both knees left him l anguishing in the treatment room for long spells.Having signed a four-year contract on his arrival from Bayern Munich in a £17 million deal in July 2007, the 30-year-old has made only two appearances in the last two seasons and played just three times in the campaign prior to that.
Canadian-born Hargreaves, who has a total of 39 United appearances, is still battling to regain full
fitness but manager Ferguson admits his club can no longer wait for him to win that fight.Ferguson told the Mail on Sunday: "This has been a difficult decision knowing how hard the lad has worked to win back his fitness.
"But we have made it in the hope he will be able to resurrect his career elsewhere."
