Hargreaves - on the UEFA Champions League side © EuroFootball.com

Owen Hargreaves, the club's security guard plagued by injuries, did not make it onto the list of registered players for the UEFA Champions League.

The 29-year-old Englishman, who has only appeared on the field once in the last two years, is currently recovering from tendinitis (inflammation of the tendons).

Nevertheless, the biggest surprise is the exclusion of striker Bebe from the "Red Devils" Champions League squad.

According to UEFA rules, clubs are allowed to register 25 footballers, but "Manchester Utd" only listed 24 names in their application, and the Portuguese player costing 7 million pounds sterling was left off the list.
