Owen Hargreaves is a doubt for Manchester United's Old Trafford clash with Newcastle on Saturday evening.The England midfielder sustained a rib injury in training on Thursday and although manager Sir Alex Ferguson has not given up hope of the former Bayern Munich man being involved, he will leave the decision as late as possible.

Louis Saha should recover from a minor knock but Gary Neville will not be considered as a replacement for suspended defender Wes Brown, even though the United captain began his comeback from a long-standing ankle problem in the reserves at Everton on Wednesday.

Kick-off 5.15pm.

United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, O'Shea, Simpson, Ferdinand, Pique, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Nani, Park, Ronaldo, Anderson, Carrick, Hargreaves, Giggs, Rooney, Saha, Tevez.
