Owen Lee Hargreaves (born 20 January 1981) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for English Premier League club Manchester City.

Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Hargreaves played with Calgary Foothills as a youth before beginning his professional football career in Germany with Bayern Munich. After seven years with the Munich side � during which time he won four German league titles and the 2000 � 01 UEFA Champions League � Hargreaves signed for Manchester United in 2007, winning the Premier League and UEFA Champions League in his first season there. However, his time at Manchester United was plagued with injuries and he was allowed to leave the club at the end of his contract in June 2011. Hargreaves resorted to posting YouTube videos in a bid to convince potential suitors of his fitness, and in August 2011 Manchester City offered a one-year contract to Hargreaves which he accepted.

As a Canadian with a Welsh mother and an English father, Hargreaves was eligible to represent Canada, Wales or England. He opted to play for the England U-21 team in 2000 and was capped by the senior squad the following year. He is the only player to have played for England without having previously lived in the United Kingdom, and only the second to have done so without having previously played in the English football league system (the first being Joe Baker).
