Owen injured:

Manchester United striker Michael Owen could be out of action for up to three weeks after injuring his groin in the Champions League win over Wolfsburg.

Owen limped out of Wednesday's 2-1 Group B victory after only 20 minutes.

England boss Fabio Capello was in the crowd but the injury looks to have ended Owen's chances of being selected for the match in Ukraine on 10 October.

"Groin injuries are difficult to say. He could be out two or three weeks," said United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
 
Some good news

Owen fears allayed

Michael Owen's groin injury is not as severe as first feared, Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed.

The 29-year-old striker limped out of Wednesday's win over Wolfsburg with a tight groin, and the United manager revealed post-match that Owen could miss three weeks of action.

However, the boss allayed those fears at his pre-Sunderland press conference, saying: "It's not as bad as we first thought. There was precaution attached to it, and he should be available next week.

"He missed training (before Wolfsburg) and we maybe should have left him out. But we wanted him to play and he wanted to play.

"He'll be fit for Bolton (on October 17), and we're pleased with that. On Michael’s part, it was precaution, which is understandable given his history."

Sir Alex also revealed that goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is "not far away" from a return to playing, while full-back Rafael is "training well."

"We've a strong squad," said the boss. "The problem with having everyone fit is picking the right team."

Hey man, that's why it comes down to personal opinion. I'm sure many would say it was Bobby Charlton, but I always liked George best.
 
Yeah well, Maradonna good, Pele better, George Best.

But I agree it is hard to compare them. I would say Best is better but only by a bit. Giggs will go down as one of the all time greats, no doubt about it.
