Bayern warning for Man Utd target Hargreaves
|
Bayern Munich chief Uli Hoeness has told Owen Hargreaves to shut his trap over his pleas to move to Manchester United.
England midfield man Hargreaves wants to quit the German champions following a £15million bid from Manchester United.
But Bayern general manager Hoeness insists the Canadian-born ace, 25, is not for sale at any price.
Hoeness rapped: "I would advise him to keep his mouth shut or else I will get really angry. And that won't be good for him.
"I cannot understand why he keeps going on about it after the two talks we had.
"There is no chance whatsoever that he will be allowed to leave.
"He must learn to accept the decisions of his bosses. That is simply a question of respect. We want to build a new, young team and we are not going to sell people like Hargreaves.
"Bayern will never be taken for a ride by big clubs and become weak at the knees as soon as a certain level of money is mentioned.
"If you gain that sort of reputation, then it is all over for you.
"Their chief executive David Gill can phone me up at 8.30 every morning to talk about the English weather or tea - but not about Owen Hargreaves."
Hargreaves, who has three years of his Bayern contract to run, was on the bench for Bayern's 2-1 win over Bochum on Sunday after suffering from flu.
United boss Alex Ferguson is refusing to take 'no' for an answer and is confident of sealing a £17m deal before the transfer window closes.
