Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists Owen Hargreaves can make his playing return in next week's reserves fixture.

United officials confirmed on Wednesday night that the England international would not be involved in yesterday's game against Manchester City, as it interfered with his training regime.

It seemed a strange explanation. And Ferguson has clarified the situation, pointing out that Hargreaves in fact went to see a specialist for the latest update.

However, as the verdict was positive, Ferguson believes an end to Hargreaves' lengthy spell on the sidelines is in sight.

"Owen went to see a specialist yesterday," said the United boss.

"There is nothing wrong and the idea is for him to play in the next game.

"He has to play in the next game because he is ready to play."
