Man Utd keep tabs on Hargreaves

Manchester United are keeping tabs on Owen Hargreaves' comeback at Bayern Munich from his broken-leg injury.

The England ace could be back training inside a month and he is desperately hoping Manchester United will renew their bid to buy him in the January transfer window.
Bayern Munich's midfielder went close to moving to Old Trafford in the summer, after manager Alex Ferguson tabled a bid of around £10million.
The England star even went public on his desire to quit the German giants, sparking a fierce row between the clubs.
United lost out in the bust-up, with Bayern digging in their heels and refusing to sell.
But Hargreaves, who broke his left leg in a Bundesliga match a month ago, hopes he can still become a United player.
He declared: "The more I play for England, the more top English clubs will see me.
"At the time, I said it would be very interesting for me and it was something I wanted to do. My club had a different view and that is their right. But at the moment I am getting fit and, when I am playing well again, I think those things will arise once more."
Hargreaves is making steady progress following his freak fracture.
He added: "It's a bit of a slow process but the injury is healing well.
"I'm looking forward to getting off the crutches, walking normally and then getting fit after that.
"They say bones heal in six weeks or so and I am in my fourth week now.
"I think another four weeks, hopefully, and then I'll be training once more."
