Hargreaves: Who doesn’t want to play for Sir Alex?

After growing up in Canada and rising through the youth ranks at Bayern Munich, Hargreaves arrived at Old Trafford in the summer of 2007.

The England international stayed at United for four years, making 39 appearances during that time and scoring twice.

Hargreaves won the Premier League and the Champions League in his debut season with the Reds, but recurring injuries led to the midfielder’s outings being sporadic in future seasons.

In the summer of 2011, Hargreaves’ contract expired, and he spent a season at Manchester City before retiring from football. Today, the former midfielder features regularly on the television as a pundit and often covers United matches due to his affiliation with our club.
