ENGLAND duo Gary Neville and Owen Hargreaves will both be in Manchester United's Super Cup line-up in Monaco on Friday, writes Simon Stone.
Sir Alex Ferguson has pledged to take the encounter with Uefa Cup winners Zenit St Petersburg seriously after losing out to Lazio the last time United played in the game following their Champions League triumph over Bayern Munich in 1999.

Ferguson also sees the clash as a chance to give match practice to some key figures within his squad. Neither Neville nor Hargreaves has played a competitive game yet this season.

The United manager, who tasted Super Cup glory with Aberdeen in 1983, added: "I want to win. I remember the last time we went there I only played half a team because we had a Monday league game against Newcastle. When I saw Lazio celebrating, it was like they had won the World Cup. I was not too pleased. I thought, 'That will not happen again'."
