Premier League - Neville makes United comeback

Eurosport - Tue, 31 Mar 10:20:00 2009

Manchester United defender Gary Neville lasted almost an hour of a reserve-team draw with Newcastle at St James' Park on Monday night.

FOOTBALL 2008-09 Premier League - Gary Neville, Manchester United - 0

Neville has been out for two months with a groin injury, another lengthy spell on the sidelines in an injury-plagued two years for the veteran defender.

However, it seems he is edging closer to full fitness again and could come into contention for next Sunday's Premier League clash with Aston Villa at Old Trafford, or the Champions League showdown with FC Porto 48 hours later.

It was young striker Federico Macheda who made the biggest impression, grabbing a hat-trick for the visitors to earn them a share of the spoils as the match finished 3-3.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Red Devils side took the lead in the first half through a Macheda penalty after Claudio Cacapa was penalised for handball.

Neville and Ritchie De Laet gave away a penalty as they were both in close attendance of Xisco when the Spaniard went to ground, and he duly stuck away the spot-kick.

Mark Doninger gave Newcastle the lead in the second period only for Macheda to equalise with a quarter of an hour remaining after Reece Brown had replaced Neville.

Danny Guthrie smashed home from 25 yards for 3-2, but Macheda finished in the final minute to earn a draw.
