  Yeah, i second that. It will do his confidence good and hopefully bounce back from this awful period of form.

  DR RICHARD STEADMAN has hinted Owen Hargeaves could return to first-team action on Saturday.

  Manchester United midfielder Hargreaves has not started a senior game for over two years due to ongoing knee problems.

  Two operations and an extensive period of rehabilitation seemed to have put the 29-year-old back on track towards the end of last season.

  But his hopes of starting the current campaign were dashed when he experienced discomfort on his return to training.

  United boss Alex Ferguson sent him to see Dr Steadman and the Colorado-based specialist is optimistic about his patient's chances of making an appearance against West Brom.

  The world renowned surgeon said: "Owen should play some part on Saturday.

  "Our physical therapist, Luke O'Brien, has been working very closely with United's coaches on his rehab.

  "It's been a long road back and there have been some setbacks along the way.

  "But I've got a lot of admiration for the way Owen has responded — he's worked very hard and has never given up. Things are looking good for him now."

  As Hargreaves has been omitted from United's 25-man Champions League squad, he is restricted to domestic games until January.

  If he does not make an appearance against the Baggies, a more lklely comeback date would be the Carling Cup clash with Wolves on October 26.

  Squad sheets: Manchester United v West Bromwich Albion

   

   

   

  Whatever the true state of Wayne Rooney's ankle, Albion are likely to be without their own first-choice centre-forward as Peter Odemwingie is struggling to shake off a knee injury while Jerome Thomas is also doubtful. Theoretically, this should be straightforward for Manchester United, who have not dropped a league point at Old Trafford this season. Nevertheless, Roberto Di Matteo's first four away games have taken him to the old Big Four. They were first thrashed at Chelsea, pushed Liverpool hard and then shocked Arsenal.

  Rooney on the bench. A sign Fergie is punishing him for his mid week comments?

• gunner77

  16 Oct 10, 21:53

  I expect rooney to start in the mid week champs league game

• Rooney9

  16 Oct 10, 22:03

  giggs the oldie started, but scholes did not. fletcher also. so who is doing the dirty work in midfield? carrick or anderson or none at all?

• Rooney9

  16 Oct 10, 22:04

  hernandez flick keep giving away the ball cheaply

  can he stop this nonsense of fancy play

• Rooney9

  16 Oct 10, 22:05

  hahaha hernandez easy goal after Nani fk, goalie parry the ball away for hernandez to score an easy goal.

• Rooney9

  16 Oct 10, 22:10

  the passing is not good at all. keep gifting the ball away cheaply to WBA player.

• trolol

  16 Oct 10, 22:19

  berbatov is still berbaflop. In my eyes he will never make it.

  He can only slows plays down and loses the ball to more pacier players

   

• trolol

  16 Oct 10, 22:23

  Look at how many chances he has wasted so far.

  score 3 goals against liverpool then hype up so much. a flop is always a flop. sometimes luck is on his side then he scores.

  Good only in league cup or FA cup this flop.

• Rooney9

  16 Oct 10, 22:36

  Berbatov is never prolific nor an out and out striker.all u can hope is he score 20 goals a season can liao. anything more is a bonus.

  if its a draw at old trafford, its 2 points dropped at home. every 2 points dropped, whether its home or away is going to be substantial come next May. I will be shocked if WBA snatch a win at old trafford.

• trolol

  16 Oct 10, 23:44
