Owen Lee Hargreaves (born 20 January 1981 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada) is a professional football midfielder. He plays for Manchester United in the Premier League and at the international level for England.
Background
Hargreaves is the youngest of three children born to Margaret and Colin Hargreaves who had migrated to Canada at the start of the eighties from the United Kingdom. His father played football for the Bolton Wanderers youth side and also for the Calgary Kickers of the Canadian Soccer League. He has two brothers, Darren and Neil. His eldest brother, Darren, represented Canada at youth level.
Career
FC Bayern Munich
Owen Hargreaves moved at the age of sixteen from Calgary Foothills to Bayern Munich on 1 July 1997. Hargreaves played in the Under-19 team for two and a half years before spending six months with the Amateur team. Whilst with the Under 19s the team reached the Final of the German Championship in 1998. They lost in the final to Borussia Dortmund, but only after a penalty shoot-out in Dortmund's Rote-Erde Stadium.
On 12 August 2000, Hargreaves played in his first Bundesliga match, making an appearance as a substitute for Carsten Jancker in the 83rd minute. His first start came against SpVgg Unterhaching on 16 September 2000. That season proved to be a triumphant one for Bayern Munich; the club were Bundesliga champions and also claimed the UEFA Champions League crown. Hargreaves's performances in the Champions League semi final against Real Madrid put him in the international spotlight as he showed he was capable of holding his own against the likes of Roberto Carlos and Luís Figo. He is one of only two English players to have won a Champions League medal with a non-English club, the other being two-time winner Steve McManaman (Real Madrid).
In the 2001-02 season Hargreaves established himself as a first team regular, making 46 appearances in all. In spite of setbacks for the club in the form of a third place finish in the Bundesliga, a quarter final appearance in the Champions League and a Cup defeat by Schalke, the season proved to be a decisive one for Hargreaves as he emerged as a key player of the team.
2002-03 saw Hargreaves celebrate another domestic success as Bayern won the Bundesliga title and the DFB Cup. On 26 January 2003, Hargreaves scored his first Bundesliga goal in the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Unfortunately, the season also saw him out injured on three separate occasions. In September he tore a thigh muscle, then in October a calf muscle. Towards the end of the season adductor problems meant he missed a further three weeks. He racked up 25 Bundesliga appearances, four Cup games and three matches in the Champions League.
The 2003-04 season was Hargreaves' first with Bayern without winning any silverware. After clinching the double the year before, the Munich side finished second in the Bundesliga, and were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid. Hargreaves made a total of 38 appearances for the club in this season.
In 2004-05 he picked up another German championship and DFB Cup. He had 27 appearances in the Bundesliga (one goal), played in three Cup games (two goals) and eight Champions League games.
In the 2005-06 season, he added another Bundesliga and Cup title. Hargreaves scored the first goal at the new Allianz Arena in a competitive match on 5 August 2005, against Borussia Mönchengladbach. In all, he had 15 (one goal) league, four (two goals) cup and three Champions League appearances.
In October 2005, he extended his contract at Bayern for another four years.
In the 2006-07 season, Hargreaves was unfortunate enough to break his leg which has kept him out of most of Bayern Munich's league campaign this term. But he recovered in time to help Bayern knock out Real Madrid in the Champions League with an aggregate score of 4-4, with Bayern going through on away goals thanks to their 3-2 defeat in the first leg at Madrid's Bernabéu.
Manchester United
On 31 May 2007, it was announced that Hargreaves would join Manchester United on July 1, 2007, after almost a year of negotiations between Bayern Munich and United for a fee of around £17 million.[1] Hargreaves was finally unveiled as a Manchester United player on July 1, having signed a four-year contract with the club. He was then revealed to the press on July 9, along with fellow newcomer Nani. Hargreaves was given the number 4 shirt at Old Trafford, the number previously worn by Gabriel Heinze and Juan Sebastian Veron, to whom his style is considered similar to.[citation needed]
Hargreaves made his Manchester United debut in a friendly against Peterborough United on 4 August, coming on as a second half substitute in United's 3-1 victory. He made his first Premier League appearance in Manchester United's third game of the season, in the derby match away to Manchester City in a 1-0 defeat. Hargreaves scored his first league goal for Manchester United against Fulham on March 1, a free-kick from outside the penalty box. He scored his second league goal for the club on 13 April, scoring the winner against Arsenal with a well taken free kick.[2]
International career
Hargreaves was eligible to play international football for any one of the Home Nations[3][4] or for Canada, and had he not accepted selection at the time he did, would soon have been eligible for Germany under residency rules. As a youngster he was a regular in the youth setups of Wales[5] and was set to make his debut for the Wales U21 team against the Belarus U21 team in September 2000 but pulled out of the squad after he was approached by England and[6] on August 31, 2000, the then England U21 manager, Howard Wilkinson, called the 19-year-old into his squad for the match against Georgia. The game, played at the Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough, ended in a 6-1 win for the home team. Further appearances for the U21s followed in friendlies against Italy and Spain.
Hargreaves played his first full international game on August 15, 2001 against the Netherlands at White Hart Lane, giving him the distinction of being the only player to appear for England when he had never lived in England. Hargreaves was the only player playing outside the Premier League to be selected for England's 2002 FIFA World Cup squad. Hargreaves was injured after just fifteen minutes of England's second Group game against Argentina and had to be substituted.
Although he had not usually been part of the first choice team, he was selected for the England squads at Euro 2004 in Portugal and the 2006 World Cup in Germany despite criticism from sections of the press and public. The generally negative perception of him by English fans had not been helped by his seeming to have an essence of "German-ness",[7] exacerbated by his German/Canadian accent. His entry into England's first match of the 2006 World Cup as a substitute prompted vocal abuse from a number of England fans. However, in a tournament in which England were generally regarded as having underachieved, he was, by the end of England's participation, widely considered one of the few successes of the English squad, and he was named "Man of the Match" in the quarter final against Portugal, the game in which England were eliminated after a penalty shootout, Hargreaves having been the only successful English penalty taker. In 2006, he won both England Player of the Year, and England Player of the World Cup in official FA polls, the first to win both in the same year.
He continued his rise in the eyes of English supporters in picking up the Man of the Match award in England's 4-0 win over Greece on August 18, 2006, where he first took over the number seven shirt of former captain David Beckham. On January 30, 2007 he was voted England Player of the Year 2006, as voted for by visitors to the Official FA site.[8]
In June 2007, FIFA announced that Hargreaves and Philipp Lahm would visit South Africa in advance support for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[9]

Owen Lee Hargreaves (nacido el 20 de enero de 1981 en Calgary, Alberta, Canadá) es un futbolista inglés que juega en el Manchester United y en la Selección nacional inglesa.Primeros pasos [editar]Owen es el más joven de tres hermanos, hijo de Margaret y Colin Hargreaves, que emigraron a Canadá desde Gran Bretaña a principios de los años 1980. Owen es el único miembro de su familia que ha nacido en Canadá ya que su hermano Darren nació en Gales y su otro hermano, Neil, lo hizo en Inglaterra.
Owen jugó por primera vez al fútbol a los cinco años. Su primer equipo era conocido como "Peanuts". Él heredó parte de su talento a la hora de jugar de su padre que jugó para el Bolton Wanderers y el Wigan Athletic en la Liga Inglesa.
Más adelante se hizo con un puesto de titular en el equipo sub-12 "Cedar Ridge Jacks" que entrenaba un amigo de su padre. A nivel sub-14 este equipo se fusionó con otro equipo llamado Calgary Foothills FC cuyo entrenador era Burt Kaiser, una vez internacional por Canadá. Cuando Thomas Niendorf, que ayudaba en algunas ocasiones a Kaiser, recibió la visita de Harald Hoppe este último se fijó en Owen y se puso en contacto con el FC Bayern Munich, del que había sido entrenador junior. Tras una prueba en octubre de 1996, Owen se unió al equipo junior del Bayern en julio de 1997.
Bayern de Munich [editar]El 12 de agosto del 2000 fue el debut de Owen en la Bundesliga. Entró como sustituto de Carsten Jancker en el minuto 83, en el partido contra el Hertha BSC Berlin. Su primer partido como titular sería en el disputado contra el SpVgg Unterhaching el 16 de septiembre de ese mismo año.
Esa misma temporada fue un triunfo tanto para Owen como para el Bayern, ya que el equipo no sólo ganó la Bundesliga sino también la final de la UEFA Champions League o Liga de Campeones. Sus actuaciones en esta competición, en partidos como en las semifinales contra el Real Madrid o la final contra el Valencia CF, le pusieron en el punto de mira internacional.
A partir de la temporada siguiente, la 2001/2002, Hargreaves se convirtió en titular asiduo del primer equipo donde a lo largo de los años ha seguido acumulando títulos.
Tras casi 10 años en el Bayern de Munich, en el verano de 2007 recaló en las filas del Manchester United, que pago 25 millones de euros para que el jugador pasase a formar parte de su disciplina.
