Ronaldo was the superstar in United 's team as they were preparing for the huge clash in Moscow with rivals Chelsea , in which he scored in a 1-1 draw before they won on penalties .
But despite him often being the designated taker on set pieces , Hargreaves frequently pulled rank for free-kicks .

Hargreaves explained how he would rarely be given an opportunity to show what he could do at Bayern Munich , but Ronaldo welcomed his talents .
`` We used to practise all the time and Cristiano knew I could [ score them ] and I love that about him , he said .
`` I remember we played , I ’ d scored a couple , and we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chelsea that year , he was on one side of the box and I was on the other .

"We used to practise all the time and Cristiano knew I could [score them] and I love that about him, he said.

Hargreaves probably had a fair point, for it was earlier that season that Ronaldo had hit his astonishing, well remembered 30-yard free-kick against Portsmouth in the Premier League.
But he needn't have worried about any showdown talks, as Ronaldo had already considered stepping aside.
Hargreaves continued: "Anyway, we get to the dressing room, we’re warming up to go out on the pitch before we go out, nobody is around, Cristiano walks over and says, 'Owen if we get a free-kick today it’s yours, I saw you practising'.
"And that’s who he was. Everybody thinks he’s like it’s all about him and an egomaniac. But if you’re good at something he’s the first one to see that.

"I know the Prime Minister has got rehearsed attack lines but he should look at what I've been saying consistently."
He then pressed Boris Johnson to extend the national voucher scheme to ensure free meals over the summer for vulnerable children or risk "further inequality" in England.
Mr Johnson replied: "We don't normally continue with free school meals over the summer holidays but we're also aware of the particular difficulties faced by vulnerable families.
"That's why we're announcing a further £63 million of local welfare assistance to be used by local authorities at their discretion to help the most vulnerable families."
The PM also claimed the Government has "put its arms around the people of this country" throughout the Covid-19 crisis.
The £15-a-week vouchers are available to use in local supermarkets by parents whose children who usually have received a free school lunch.
The vouchers have been used since mid-March while schools were closed during the coronavirus lockdown.

Pressure from teaching unions and charities, the Department for Education extended funding over the Easter holiday and May half term to help hard-pressed families coping with lost income during the pandemic.
But Downing Street has now revealed that the scheme will come to an end when the summer holidays begin at the end of July.
Labour deputy leader Angela Reyner tweeted: "You do know that kids don't suddenly stop being hungry just because it's the summer holidays, don't you @BorisJohnson?"
Around 1.3 million children are eligible for the free meal vouchers, which are provided to most parents receiving Universal Credit, income support, income-based employment and support allowance, income-based job seekers allowance or child tax credit.


thedailymirror--2020-06-10--Boris Johnson confirms he's putting 2-metre rule under 'constant review'

Boris Johnson will put the UK 's two-metre social distancing rule under `` constant review '' , he declared today .
The Prime Minister dropped the strongest hint yet that he will reduce the distance people are advised to keep between them to stop Covid-19 spreading .
Downing Street has emphasised people should still stay two metres from people from outside their household , despite lockdown easing .
Yet Mr Johnson faces mounting pressure from his own Tory MPs and the pub trade - who say they 'll go bust if it is n't cut to 1.5m or 1m by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He was challenged today at Prime Minister 's Questions on whether he would reduce the two-metre gap to a level similar to other nations .
No10 has repeatedly said the rule would be kept under review - but Mr Johnson today went further and gave a strong signal to those who want it cut .
Mr Johnson said : `` I ’ ve read many papers actually on the social distancing rule and it ’ s a very interesting point .
`` I believe that those measures , the two-metre rule , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` As we drive this disease down , as we get the incidence down , working together , I want to ensure we keep that two metre rule under constant review . ''
That prompted fury from SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford - who said the PM was considering reducing the two-metre gap `` far too soon '' .
“ That ’ s not the experts ’ advice right now , '' Mr Blackford told the House of Commons .
“ SAGE reported that being exposed to the virus for six seconds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being exposed for one minute at two metres .
He added people are `` losing confidence in this government '' after a U-turn on attempts to open schools , and `` shambolic '' quarantine plans for new arrivals to the UK .
Mr Blackford fumed : `` Will the Prime Minister continue to ignore the experts , or will he start following the advice of those who ’ ve actually read the scientific papers ?
But Mr Johnson again hinted the two-metre rule could be reduced , saying there are `` all sorts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He added : `` Clearly as the incidence of the disease comes down , as I think members of SAGE would confirm , the statistical likelihood of being infected no matter how close or far you are from somebody who may or may not have coronavirus goes down . ''
The government today confirmed the two-metre rule is in forthcoming guidance for pubs , restaurants and cafes on how to reopen safely from July 4 .
But reports in The Times suggest the two-metre rule will then be dropped , reduced or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pubs reopen .
A spokesman for the Business Department said : `` All of our current and forthcoming guidance states clearly that the two metre rule applies to all workplaces .
`` Our forthcoming pubs and restaurants guidance is no different , and as we have done for other businesses and sectors we are developing this with representatives from the industry .
`` Any suggestion otherwise is simply untrue . ''
But the Business Secretary himself , Alok Sharma , last night suggested it could be removed from guidance in future .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do so , we will see whether you can move to a shorter distance but ultimately we keep all of these things under review . ''
Speaking in May , the government 's chief scientific advisor said the risk of catching coronavirus is `` 10 to 30 times higher '' at one metre away from someone , compared to two metres .
Sir Patrick Vallance said standing one metre from someone gives the same risk in six seconds as a full minute at the recommended two metres .
Sir Patrick added the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probability '' and the risk is obviously greater if someone sneezes in your face .
But another SAGE member , Professor Robert Dingwall , today warned the rule is causing `` economic devastation '' and therefore deaths .

The risk of infection when people stand more than a metre away from the infected individual was found to be 3 % , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Prof Dingwall told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme it was a `` problematic '' study because it did not look at the economic consequences of having a larger distance requirement .

Speaking at PMQs, the Prime Minister dropped by far his strongest hint that he'll cut the distance - despite scientists warning the risk at 1m apart is the same in six seconds as a full minute at 2m
Boris Johnson will put the UK's two-metre social distancing rule under "constant review", he declared today.
The Prime Minister dropped the strongest hint yet that he will reduce the distance people are advised to keep between them to stop Covid-19 spreading.
Downing Street has emphasised people should still stay two metres from people from outside their household, despite lockdown easing.

He was challenged today at Prime Minister's Questions on whether he would reduce the two-metre gap to a level similar to other nations.
No10 has repeatedly said the rule would be kept under review - but Mr Johnson today went further and gave a strong signal to those who want it cut.
Mr Johnson said: "I’ve read many papers actually on the social distancing rule and it’s a very interesting point.
"I believe that those measures, the two-metre rule, need now to be kept under review.

“That’s not the experts’ advice right now," Mr Blackford told the House of Commons.
“SAGE reported that being exposed to the virus for six seconds at one metre is the same as being exposed for one minute at two metres.
“That is a significant increase in risk.”

But reports in The Times suggest the two-metre rule will then be dropped, reduced or loosened as time goes on, after pubs reopen.
The PM's official spokesman said after PMQs: "The best way to describe it is it is under permanent review. They’re always looking at it."
But he accepted it could end up being eased in England - but not in Wales or Scotland.
The spokesman said: "Matters of public health are devolved so it is a theoretical possibility that positions could be different in different parts of the UK."
A spokesman for the Business Department said: "All of our current and forthcoming guidance states clearly that the two metre rule applies to all workplaces.

Sir Patrick added the two-metre rule is "based on a probability" and the risk is obviously greater if someone sneezes in your face.
But another SAGE member, Professor Robert Dingwall, today warned the rule is causing "economic devastation" and therefore deaths.
A study published in the Lancet found physical distancing of at least one metre lowers the risk of coronavirus transmission, but distances of two metres could be more effective.
The risk of infection when people stand more than a metre away from the infected individual was found to be 3%, and 13% if within a metre.
Prof Dingwall told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it was a "problematic" study because it did not look at the economic consequences of having a larger distance requirement.
"I think it's a question of relative risk. Even the problematic Lancet study that was published last week was really saying you're moving from a tiny risk at two metres to a very small risk at one metre.

“She’s in great form and is going straight for the Sandringham,” Spencer said about Alabama Whitman.
“Her form tailed off last year, she had a hard race in the Albany Stakes, then she won her maiden at Carlisle and after that she wasn’t really the same filly as we’d seen at the start of the season.
“She’s had a nice break.
"She’s done really well over the winter. It is a hard task to go to the Sandringham without having had a run, but a lot of people are going to be in the same boat and she’s fit and well.”
The second contender from Sefton Lodge's small team for the behind-closed-doors fixture is Keyser Soze.
Five times a winner for connections, the six-year-old is rated 8lb lower on the turf than the all-weather.
His race plan centres around getting a run in either the Buckingham Palace Handicap or Royal Hunt Cup.
"He went for a racecourse gallop at Chelmsford last week and worked well," Spencer said.

"The occasion usually gets to him, so racing behind closed doors could be in our favour this year. He is in good form.”
Spencer’s two-year-olds are again to the fore and recent Newmarket maiden runners, Wings Of A Dove and Ocean Eyes, are being aimed at the meeting.
"Ocean Eyes has been working really well at home," he added.
"All being well she could run in the Albany Stakes.
“If Wings Of A Dove could get in at Ascot, she’d show up.
"She is good and very fast.
“The track probably didn’t suit (when fifth at Newmarket on debut), but she was the last one off the bridle.
"I like her a lot. She is doing everything well at home.”

The deadline to register workers for the coronavirus furlough scheme is today - and the Prime Minsiter promised to address holes in the plan 'forthwith'
Boris Johnson has promised to act “forthwith” to prevent people being forced to shield at home facing a financial ‘cliff edge.’
The deadline to register workers for the government’s furlough scheme is today.
In Monday’s Daily Mirror, Labour warned the rigid rules mean anybody diagnosed with a condition that puts them at risk after June 10, or anyone who moves in and out of a shielded category, can’t be furloughed.
Shadow Chancellor Anneliese Dodds said current plans will force people into “an impossible choice between their livelihood or their health”.
She called for those shielding to be exempted from today’s deadline, and to be given the right to ask to be furloughed if they can’t work from home.
She also called for employers to be exempted from having to increase their contributions towards the salary cost of furloughed employees who are shielding.
A survey of cases by Citizens Advice found 25% of the sample were either at risk personally, lived with someone who was at risk, or both.
Of those, 83% were eligible to be furloughed - but of those, 60% had not yet been furloughed.
And of the cases where someone was personally at risk, 16% said they were facing redundancy or having their job conditions changed.
At Prime Minister’s Questions, Mr Johnson said he had “been made aware of the issue very recently” and “we will be addressing it forthwith”.
Asked whether he would commit to arranging a “safe hour” for shielding people to walk outside, Mr Johnson said: “We certainly will be doing as much as we can in the near future to ensure shielded people get guidance about how they can come out of their shielded environment safely in a way that is Covid-secure.”
Labour leader Keir Starmer said: “Can I welcome that, that has been something we’ve been concerned about
“We’ll look at the proposal when it’s put on the table
“I’m grateful he’s listened to that and for what he’s said this morning.”
