Hargreaves set for Man Utd comeback in Cup

Owen Hargreaves is set for his latest Manchester United comeback.

The Daily Mail says Hargreaves's long-awaited Manchester United return is being lined up for the Carling Cup match against Wolves.

The England midfield ace has spent almost two years trying to recover from a career-threatening tendinitis problem in his knees and is now finally on the verge of a comeback.

He is now back impressing Sir Alex Ferguson in training with the United squad and has undergone intensive treatment from a team of physios in the last seven days.

Ferguson is understood to want Hargreaves to play in a low-key fixture in his first game back, and with Wolves expected to name an understrength team, the fixture on October 26 could be perfect for the 29-year-old to ease his way back in.

Hargreaves previous United comeback lasted just three minutes at Sunderland at the end of last season before he suffered a setback in his recovery.
