Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has returned to England after six weeks in Vancouver, Canada.

Hargreaves was working with renowned physio Alex McKechnie.

"He's a superb athlete with a terrific attitude," McKechnie told the Vancouver Sun. "We had maximum commitment with an excellent result. From a rehab standpoint, he has done very well."

He said Hargreaves sought his services on the advice of Paul Kariya and Steve Nash - other high-profile athletes McKechnie has worked with in the past. The former team therapist for the Canadian Olympic soccer program has also worked with Shaquille O'Neal, Matt Leinart, Jimmy Connors and Michelle Kwan during his career.
