Hargreaves KO for Utd

Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has pulled out of tonight’s UEFA Super Cup encounter with Zenit St Petersburg after suffering a recurrence of his long-standing knee injury in training.

He was due to make a 45-minute appearance in Monaco and there had been some speculation Hargreaves could even find his way into Fabio Capello’s squad for next month’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Croatia despite Alex Ferguson rejecting the theory yesterday.
