Manchester United's Michael Owen has been hit by another injury setback, which might keep him out of action until Christmas. The injury prone Manchester United front man, received yet another injury in early November in the Reds' Champions League match against Otelul Galati.

Owen was given a rare place in the starting lineup of the squad, but after only ten minutes, he was hobbling back off the pitch again with a thigh injury, only two minutes after Antonio Valencia’s opening goal in the eight minute. Manchester United went on to win 2-1.
