Hargreaves will not play in Far East

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Owen Hargreaves will play no part in Manchester United's Far East tour.

So far, Hargreaves, an £18million summer signing from Bayern Munich, has not managed to join in a full training session because of tendinitis in his knee, and the Red Devils are due to complete their four-match trip against Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals on Friday, after flying into China on Thursday.

"Hargreaves won't be playing at all on the tour," said Ferguson. "It's just tendinitis. It's becoming an irritant rather than a big problem. It's something we're going to have to do something about - not an operation, but we may have to give him an injection at some time."
