Man Utd close in on Bayern Munich's Hargreaves
|
Manchester United are closing in on Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves.
The Sun says Bayern Munich are determined to hang on to the midfield ace, who starred in England's 4-0 friendly win over Greece at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
But he was met at Manchester's Lowry Hotel by a man from security firm CES, which is used by United.
The same burly guard, an ex-forces member, was recently snapped escorting new Man U signing Michael Carrick.
Hargreaves, 25, desperate to leave Bayern for Old Trafford, was driven away in a silver Audi - one of a number supplied to the club.
Hargreaves' agent Roman Grill has spent two days in Manchester trying to do a deal with United boss Alex Ferguson.
Last night, Grill told The Sun: "I don't know whether Owen has permission to talk to United or not. Owen's interest in playing for United next season is serious.
"He has a contract to 2010 but the chairman at Bayern insists there is no chance of Owen being sold. Owen has to talk with his club and make his plans clear. This should happen in a very good atmosphere."
