Hargo has played in the reserve game
Hargreaves back in action
Injury-plagued midfielder on the mend after 45-minute reserve show
Owen Hargreaves made his long-awaited return to action in a Manchester United reserves game against Burnley.
The midfielder has not played a first-team game since featuring against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in September 2008 through problems with tendinitis in both knees.
However, a 45-minute outing for the reserves against Burnley at Altrincham on Thursday is a step in the right direction for the Canadian-born former Bayern Munich player.
Hargreaves was reluctant to reach fifth gear in the match but came through a half unscathed with few tough tackles from the opposition.
United paid Bayern £17million for his services in 2007, but injuries have limited the one-time England international to just 37 competitive appearances for the club.
