English national team midfielder Owen Hargreaves made his long-awaited comeback from injury with 45 minutes of action for Manchester United's reserve team Thursday night.
The 29-year-old, who has sidelined for 18 months after surgery on both knees to cure persistent tendinitis, played one half for United's second string against Burnley.
Hargreaves did not play at full speed or make any strong challenges.
``This was the first step in what has been an incredibly long ordeal and I am very happy to be back,'' Hargreaves said. ``I have been doing everything on my own, so it has been nice having people around again.''
