Owen Hargreaves' comeback for Manchester United is on-hold.

Last week it was reported that the midfielder would make his long-awaited return from injury for tonight's reserves fixture with Manchester City.

But the game, a top-of-the-table league clash, doesn't tally with Hargreaves' precise rehabilitation schedule.

A club spokesperson told ManUtd.com: "This definitely isn't another injury setback. It just doesn't fit in with Owen's training schedule."
