Rooney wishes Hargreaves luck
Red Devils ace has no qualms with midfielder's move
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney would have no qualms with Owen Hargreaves joining Manchester City, stating he wishes the midfielder 'luck'.
The former Red Devils man, who was released by the club over the summer, could be on the verge of a move to Etihad Stadium as he is believed to be undergoing a medical.
Hargreaves was signed from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for a lofty fee in May 2007 and despite early good form his tenure was ultimately heavily disrupted by a succession of injuries.
The 30-year-old has been proving his fitness this summer and now it seems that United's city rivals are willing to take a punt on the Canadian-born star, who, if fit, was regarded as world class.
Rooney knows Hargreaves well following their time together at Old Trafford and the England ace would not begrudge him a move to City having seen how hard he has worked to regain full fitness.
Worked hard
"He's been out for a couple of years now. He worked hard to try and get back," explained Rooney to Sky Sports News.
"A lot of the time he was over in Germany or the States trying to get fit. We didn't really see much of him.
"When he came back he came close to playing. He played one game and unfortunately he got another injury to his hamstring.
"He's nice lad. He's worked extremely hard to try and get back playing. The manager felt that he didn't want to keep hold of him. I wish him luck. Hopefully he gets back playing.
"When he's fully fit he's a great player. He's different type of midfield player to what we've had in England. We all hope as England players and fans that he gets back to his best."
