Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini admits Owen Hargreaves could play against Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Hargreaves could step in for Yaya Toure.

"Owen has worked with the team in the last two weeks without a problem," said Mancini.

"But it is clear that he is not Yaya at this moment. He needs to play and work. I hope he can be ready to play one game but it depends on him."
