I sometimes forget that we have Hargreaves in the physio room – it’s been so long since I saw him don a United shirt.
According to the papers his recovery is now a psychological one rather than a one physical one: Man Utd – What the Paper’s say.
I remember my time in Sport Studies and how important the psychological element is to a players ability; I used to run through skill moves and plays in my head repeatedly in an effort to use reinforcement to learn and incorporate new skills. But to overcome 18 months of slow recovery is something else entirely: every day having to find some encouragement in the smallest of improvements and finding something of use in a day when you actually go backwards.
Best of luck Hargo.
