Dynamo were chicken in Kiev - Hargreaves

Owen Hargreaves has accused Dynamo Kiev of being "afraid" of Manchester United a fortnight ago.

United romped to a 4-2 win in the Ukraine, completing one of the easiest European away triumphs during Sir Alex Ferguson's stint in charge.

"It is very rare in the Champions League that you see someone pulled apart so easily and concede four goals at home," said Hargreaves.

Providing Ferguson's side can confirm their superiority over Kiev at Old Trafford on Wednesday, they will book a place in the knockout phase with two games to spare.

And Hargreaves, who is set to make his long-awaited Champions League debut for United after finally overcoming a knee problem, can see no reason why Ferguson should not receive a perfect 21st anniversary present as manager.

"Dynamo seemed a bit afraid of us in Kiev," added the England midfielder.

"Normally, those type of games are very difficult but Dynamo were really quite poor, surprisingly so for that level of competition."
