Owen Hargreaves has been ruled out of United's final Asia Tour
game against Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals on Friday after failing to
overcome tendonitis in his knee.
The problem has prevented him from taking part in a full training
session in the Far East.
With the start of the season less than two weeks away and Paul
Scholes also on the sidelines, Sir Alex Ferguson will be keen to
get his new signing back to fitness.
"Hargreaves won't be playing at all on the tour," said Ferguson.
"It's just tendonitis. It's becoming an irritant rather than a big
problem.
"It's something we're going to have to do something about - not an
operation, but we may have to give him an injection at some
time."
