Man United News: Hargreaves, Valencia And Vidic

The specialist knee surgeon that saved Alan Shearer, Michael Owen and Ruud Van Nistelrooy from early retirements due to injuries, Dr Richard Steadman, has revealed that Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves is now close to return to full fitness after spending the best part of two full seasons on the sidelines.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said that Luis Antonio Valencia will only return in February after the ankle injury he sustained against Rangers in the Champions League.

Nemanja Vidic will be captain whenever playing on the pitch due former captain Gary Neville and vice-captain Ryan Giggs playing irregularly who are in the twilight of their career. However, Neville remains the official club captain.
