Hargreaves tipped to play against Hammers

Owen Hargreaves will return to the Manchester United squad for tomorrow’s clash with West Ham at Upton Park.

The England midfielder has missed the first two games of the Premier League leader's festive programme with a back injury, but is now fit for duty and should be handed a starting slot.

Alex Ferguson has confirmed Carlos Tevez will start against his former club but Edwin van der Sar (groin) is still out.

Team (from): Kuszczak, Heaton, Brown, Simpson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evra, O’Shea, Fletcher, Ronaldo, Anderson, Carrick, Hargreaves, Nani, Giggs, Park, Rooney, Tevez, Saha.
