Manchester United captainGary Neville and midfielder Owen Hargreaves will take no part in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Aalborg after being omitted from the travelling party.

Hargreaves' absence was expected as the injury-plagued England international missed Saturday's 2-0 win over Bolton Wanderers with a recurrence of the knee problem that has blighted his 15 months at Old Trafford.

However, Neville was expected to travel to Denmark after proving his own fitness from an 18-month absence following his return to first-team action this season.

Meanwhile, midfielder Darren Fletcher has warned the reigning European champions not to underestimate Aalborg after they held Celtic to a goalless draw in their opening Group E fixture.

"Aalborg may not to be a familiar name, but there are no mugs in the Champions League. They'll still be a top side," he told the club's official website.

"A lot of people have already discounted them, but the fact that the pressure is off might help them.

"It's a game that we'll have to be on top form for if we're to get the three points."
