ALEX FERGUSON reckons £17million new signing Owen Hargreaves can become a legend at Manchester United.England midfielder Hargreaves, 26, is set for his debut at Doncaster tonight or Peterborough tomorrow.
And Old Trafford boss Fergie is delighted at landing his target.
Ferguson said: “His broken leg delayed the transfer but some players are worth waiting for — and he is one.
“It’s good to get him on board at last.
"I wonÂ’t saddle him with comparisons to Bryan Robson, Roy Keane or Eric Cantona.
“You can never find a new so-and-so as every player’s different.
"What I can say is, like those eminent predecessors, he’ll bring stature to his position.”
Hargreaves spent 10 years at European giants Bayern Munich.
Fergie is hoping his experience can help United add another European Cup triumph to their 1968 and 1999 successes.
He added: “Owen’s European experience with Bayern Munich will be priceless.
“The new players will strengthen us, especially in the Champions League.
"We’ve faltered in three semi-finals now and a club of our stature should do better.”
