Bommel not replacing Owen
|
Bayern Munich general manager Uli Hoeness has again declared they have no intention of selling Owen Hargreaves to Manchester United this week.
It had been thought Mark Van Bommel's move from Barcelona could pave the way for Hargreaves to join Manchester United.
Van Bommel himself was quoted as saying Hargreaves was "close to leaving".
But Hoeness again insisted: "We want to move forward with Mark and Owen. We would be crazy to sign Van Bommel as a replacement for Hargreaves."
Hargreaves, 25, has already expressed his desire to move to Old Trafford.
The England international's contract with Bayern expires in 2010 and the German club are determined to keep him.
