Man Utd got Hargreaves

The EPL season for 2006/07 just ended with my beloved team Manchester United winning the league title. Also united lost in the FA cup final to Chelsea and could not stop AC Milan from whipping them at San Siro, this year surely is one of the best season for the Red Devils.
So all now are focusing on how all team will strengthen their squad next year. Man Utd made a fast move on Owen Hargreaves. Even though the reportedly 17million pound move still not yet been finalized, it seems impossible for the deal to be broke down.
With Paul Scholes having a good season this year, Micheal Carrick also had a good season, Darren Flecther seems decent, Chris Eagle trying to push for the first team spot, it seems that adding Hargreaves in the team will create more competition to the 2 center midfield slot. But united do not have any player with the same type of Hargreaves. He is a midfield dynamo, a decent passer and also can read the game well.
His important roll for united next year is to be a holding center midfielder , winning the ball from opponent. Kinda have a similar role as Gennaro Gattusso of AC Milan and Claude Makalele of Chelsea or Momo Sissokko of Liverpool. Many people doubt that Hargreaves will make big impact next year. Some say he is overrated as well. Playing a great world cup tournament do not make you a big player until you proved yourself week in and week out in the league game. But you can’t deny that a player who can play as a right back and also a midfield and playing regularly at a club like Bayern Munich is not good enough. Throughout the years, I think that Hargreaves has improved. He is no longer a no nonsense player with a flying tackle all over the pitch. He has more good vision of the game now. Control the ball nicely, passing is also decent, could dribble as well and also very good at tackling. This is the element which are lacking at united now, a player who can tackle well. Carrick done great this year, but adding Hargreaves to the team will only make united with more flavor at the center midfield. Through times people will see that united indeed has spend a well 17million pound on Owen Hargreaves.
