Peterborough 1-3 Man United XI : Report

Owen Hargreaves finally made his debut for United as the Reds won 3-1 against 4^th division team Peterborough which is managed by Sir Alex's own son, Darren Ferguson.

"There was a bit of confusion because we thought Fletcher and Silvestre were coming down to play," said Ferguson junior, Darren.

"Hargreaves, Pique, Lee Martin and others were out there, though. They've got quality throughout the squad. It wasn't an overly competitive game but thoroughly enjoyable. It was a good day for the whole family."

Richie Jones made it 2-1 after a Dong Fangzhuo shot was parried in the 72^nd minute and Fangzhuo himself found the back of the net five minutes later with a stunning goal, performing a skillful manoeuvre in the box and firing the ball in.

The next match is now against Chelsea.
