Hargreaves in United debut

Owen Hargreaves was handed his Manchester United debut as Alex Ferguson’s men looked to record their first win of the season against local rivals Manchester City at Eastlands.

Hargreaves was expected to miss the game with a long-running knee problem but with Cristiano Ronaldo suspended and Darren Fletcher not even making the bench, Ferguson entrusted his £18m summer capture from Bayern Munich with midfield duties for the visitors.
