Owen Hargreaves, a former England international, has not signed with Queens Park Rangers but is currently training with the club in an attempt to recover from injury.
Hargreaves, who has suffered from injury in the last few years, then signed a one year deal last season with Manchester City but his playing time was limited to 13 minutes of Premier League action and was then released by the club in May.
QPR manager Mark Hughes confirmed on the clubs website that Hargreaves is currently training with the club, though there is no obligation for either party.
Hughes aslo said that Owen Hargreaves is keen to remain fit and that him and the club are happy to assist him.
Canadian born Hargreaves spent seven years with the first team at Bayern Munich after joining the club when he was 16 years old. His England debut came in 2001 in a friendly against the Netherlands, and had was arguably one of England's best players in the 2006 World Cup in Germany and the in July 2007 Manchester United paid £17 million pounds for him.
Though, Manchester United decided not to renew his contract in 2011 after failing to play for almost two years due to a troublesome knee injury which he failed to recover from despite United's best efforts.
After his release from United, Hargreaves used YouTube to demonstrate that he was still fit and able to play and because of the video had talks with West Brom and Manchester City.
At the beginning of last season he made a shock move to the blue half of Manchester making a scoring debut in a Carling Cup match against Birmingham, though, struggled to play any major part due to injury and only made three more appearances.
