Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves feels he's mentally stronger as he prepares to make his comeback from knee injury.
Hargreaves is back in full training at United and told manutd.com: "Yeah, I think it has. I think mentally, people who have struggled through something and strived to achieve something, have an edge over people who have had everything done for them or who've experienced everything going their way.
"You learn a lot from the difficult situations in life, and I've learnt a lot. There were days when I'd struggle to do an exercise, or when my knee would be really sore, and I'd just think about the times when I was trying to bend my knee just five degrees - they were big victories along the way, and that inspired me and spurred me on. You could see the progression that I was making and I tried to use that as motivation."
