Manchester United vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

I have a feeling he's being rushed back straight into the starting XI because we have no other options, with most of our other midfielders being out with the virus. Fergie has Scholes on the bench but that would be a huge risk for the City game because he is on 4 yellows as it is.

We do have other options. I doubt Fergie would risk the remainder of Hargreaves' career if he wasn't sure he could manage.

He has been out since what Moscow or something? Id hardly call it rushing him back
 
Yeh maybe it's more like:

VDS
Brown Ferdinand Vidic Evra
O'Shea Fletcher
Hargreaves -- Park -- Obertan
Chi Chi​

Of course it's not a big deal, it's just that you would expect him to come back as a sub for a few games before being put in the starting XI. It's weird.
 
I'm going to be wincing every time Karl Henry so much as looks at Hargo.
 
SO just to be clear, we're going into a Premiership game without Carrick, Scholes, Anderson, Gibson, Valencia, Nani, Giggs, Rooney, Berbatov or Owen?

So effectively outside of our defence we could more or less field two seperate team which are both arguably stronger than this one :nervous:

Owen Hargreaves renders this line of argument void.

Far too depressing a post.

Oh Owen Hargreaves...

-----------Amos-----------
--Rafael-Carrick-Neville-Giggs--
Valencia-Anderson-Gibson-Nani
-----Rooney-Berbatov--------

Owen on bench.

Including subs:

Kuszczak

Better this than the other way round. Couldn't cope with that again.
 
Hargreaves?

Just in case you'd forgotten what he looks like. :)

Indeed, if this team played the other one, the "eight man defence" would eventually win the ball and get it up to Obertan and Hernandez to tear apart a Neville-Carrick centreback pairing.
 
The existence of Owen Hargreaves has been speculated upon since the turn of the century, notably the German Philosopher Nietzsche famously said of the matter: "I have queried the existence of mankind and concluded that in two weeks and the consequent return of Heir Hargreaves we shall have the answer." Other scholars, such as Stephen Hawking said that 'Hargreaves Syndrome' may have created the Universe, in essence the idea that the Universe exists is due to the non-existence of Owen Hargreaves, finding Owen Hargreaves is more important than finding the Higgs-Boson particle and the Carl Sagan also added his thoughts to this important issue: "Mankind must travel to the stars, but first, Mankind must understand how and why Hargreaves works, we must set aside all differences and in our pursuit of knowledge we must accept that Hargreaves is a fact."

Owen Hargreaves was unavailable to comment.
