Manchester United have been dealt a blow with the news that Owen Hargreaves requires another month on the sidelines.

The England international had been tipped to make his comeback in Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash with Roma.

However, Hargreaves felt his knee in training on Monday and now United have opted to give him an injection in his knee.

Wayne Rooney confessed that Roma deserved a point for their performance at Old Trafford.

“I think Roma played really well tonight. We knew it was going to be more difficult than last season,” he told Sky Italia television.

“They played well and honestly the fair result was probably a draw, but we held on to the win.”

Wayne Rooney's first goal of the season fired Manchester United to victory against Roma at Old Trafford. Rooney broke the deadlock with a sharp 15-yard finish after he was set up by Nani to leave United three points clear at the top of Group F.

Sir Alex Ferguson is sweating on the fitness of Owen Hargreaves, Nemanja Vidic and Wes Brown as the Old Trafford boss looks to make it two wins from two in Europe this season.

Sir Alex Ferguson has no worries about Manchester United's attack, despite the fact that United have scored just seven goals in eight games so far this season!

Wayne Rooney is desperate for a win against Roma - to help Manchester United to Champions League Glory.

"I am desperate to get off the mark," said Wayne.

"It has been a disappointing start for myself getting injured. But I am happy to be back playing and have played three games now and hopefully I can start scoring again and help the team win."

Manchester United wing ace Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed last season that at 6-0 down one Roma player had pleaded with him to show mercy.

"I often get some comments from opposition players that bring a smile to my face," Ronaldo, who scored twice in the 7-1 romp, told The Times.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is amazed by the way Ryan Giggs takes care of himself.

"Ryan is 34 in December and I don't see any deterioration in him. That is quite amazing considering he is a forward," he said.

"The way he looks after himself has a lot to do with it. He won't play in every game but he will be here next season.

"Playing in England is wonderful," he said in Champions, the official UEFA Champions League magazine. "You have the fans at hands' reach and they put you on a roll.

Carlos Quieroz believes Tomasz Kuszczak is every bit a Manchester United player!
