  OWEN HARGREAVES ON WAY

  Ferguson fed up with midfielder's injury nightmare

   

  

   

  SIR ALEX FERGUSON is prepared to off-load Owen Hargreaves after becoming fed up with his inconsistency and constant injuries. 

  He has cost Manchester United £1million per league start since his £17m move from Bayern Munich in July, 2007.

  Hargreaves, 27, has started just 17 Premier League matches and the United boss believes his form has been patchy when he has played.

  The midfielder’s 16-month spell at United has also been blighted by knee problems.

  Fergie has now lost patience and would sell in January if the offer was right. But he does very little business during the winter transfer window so a £15m summer move looks certain.

  Fergie was startled Hargreaves’ best games for the club last term were at right back when he stood-in for crocked Gary Neville.

  Hargreaves form and fitness has also left him sidelined by England since May.

  But he could find a home at Manchester City and there is likely to be interest from Barcelona.

  actually united haven been very clever in buying players these days...over-paying for players..but sometimes i think we are kind of desperate..thats y we end up paying sky rocketing prices..take eg hargreaves n bebatov(forced by their previous clubs )and..rooney(cos nufc was coming in n united wanted him)

  fergie and his scouts tend to go for big names...

  to me, his being an English international is enough for me to keep him. English clubs need more eng players....even though he's not trained by eng clubs.

  Hargo is a great MF, too bad he spends too much time on the treatment table then on the field
