Comments on: It’s Owen Hargreaves…again http://redrants.com/its-owen-hargreavesagain/ Manchester United Blog Wed, 23 May 2012 23:12:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Sungimann http://redrants.com/its-owen-hargreavesagain/comment-page-1/#comment-185 Sungimann Fri, 25 May 2007 03:12:24 +0000 http://redrants.com/its-owen-hargreavesagain/#comment-185 Hargreaves gets my vote as England's best player in the last World Cup where players like Lampard and Gerard faded on the big stage. If he can reproduce the same form which he had shown in the World Cup, he will definitely be a new star for MU. Don't expect a Keane or a Scholes but I think Hargreaves has the potential to be as great or better in his own style of playing.

He was also without a doubt the best player for England in the world cup. This was followed up with string of man-of-the-match performances for Bayern. A broken leg and minor knee injury put the breaks on a probable brilliant season. MU are desperate for a ball winning midfield general- someone to break down attacks in the midfield and drive forward. I think that they were rather fortuitous to win the title this year without such a player. MU success in the 90's was built on Roy Keane's role, who allowed Scholes, Giggs, Cantona and Beckham to do what they do. Most would agree, that the past season's success was mostly built on a solid defence, sublime passing and devastating counter attacks at speed, but even more on an absolute desire and even desperation to win the title. I don't think that they can continue like that for the whole of the new season, esp if they have Champions League aspirations. Which player in the MU midfield can tackle and win the ball? So Hargreaves imminent arrival arrival is really a relief. I think he is a more than adequate 'replacement' for Roy Keane and you will see an even better Scholes and Carrick if they play alongside someone like Hargreaves. And most importantly he actually wants to be a MU player. Hargreaves did quite a bit at Bayern, unless one considers Bundisliga Titles and a Champions League winner, as nothing.
