Now matter who McClaren choose for the holding role for next months games, when Hargreaves comes back, it will be his position. IMO Hargreaves has proved in recent matches, he is the best out of the lot. Sure he concedes some fouls but not harsh ones or anything like that, the sort of fouls that breaks up the opponents attack. He has and excellent work rate and the desire to play and challenge and not be afraid. There's a reason why he starts in a very good Bayern Munich side, when fit of course.
