Although most Red Devils supporters will say they were happy with the
27-year-old's contribution to their domestic and European success last
season considering that his campaign was hampered by injury, the
Canada-born England international insists that he was actually a long
way from his best.
"There is a lot more to come from me," he was quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.
"I don't think I played a game healthy last season. I was at about 50 or 60% at best.
"When
I had another scan on the knee this summer it had not improved, so I
came back early to try to fix it at the beginning of pre-season.
"Hopefully I will be fit pretty soon."
Hargreaves,
who arrived at Old Trafford from Bayern Munich last summer after
spending much of the 2006-07 season on the sidelines with a broken leg,
is still not quite match-fit, and his latest comments suggest that
United's next match against Portsmouth still comes a little too early
for him.
"I am not going to set a timetable but I am close," he added.
"I am working on my fitness every day and while I have not joined in with the lads yet, hopefully it will happen this week.
"Whether I am fit for Portsmouth or the match after that, the most important thing is I am healthy for the rest of the season."
"I know how much I better I can get being around the players and coaching staff here," he added of his move from Bayern.
"I
have not even come close to fulfilling my potential yet. And, providing
I stay healthy, this could be a really big season for me."
