I'm fit and now you'll see you best of me - Hargreaves' pledge to United fans

Owen Hargreaves says his injury hell is over and he can start proving himself to Manchester United fans.

The midfielder has played only three games since his £17million switch from Bayern Munich in the summer.

Raring to go: Owen Hargreaves

Having sat out his last season in Germany with a broken leg, he has suffered tendinitis in both knees since moving to United.

But injections and a special insole have corrected the problem.

Now Hargreaves, 26, has declared himself fit to face Aston Villa on Saturday and for the Champions League trip to Dinamo Kiev next week.

He told The Sun: "I hope this is it for me injury-wise. I have missed enough games.

"I've been involved with football for quite a while and know injuries are part of the game but I've tried to take more precautions as I've got older."
