Injured Hargreaves in Germany to save Man U career

London, Aug.9 (ANI): Owen Hargreaves has secretly flown to Germany in a bid to save his Manchester United career.

According to The Sun, the England midfielder, 27, has been having treatment all week at the Munich clinic of top knee specialist Dr Hans Muller-Wolfahrt.

Hargreaves went to Munich after his latest setback and, although Sir Alex Ferguson said Hargreaves would return in 'two to three weeks', Muller-Wolfahrt told the player it could take six months.

Hargreaves, who had been at Dr Richard Steadman's surgery in Colorado, is expected to fly back to America this week for more rehabilitation.

The England star has not played for United since the 1-1 draw at Chelsea on September 21 2008. (ANI)
