He has cost Manchester United £1million per league start since
his £17m move from Bayern Munich in July, 2007.
Hargreaves, 27, has started just 17 Premier League matches and
the United boss believes his form has been patchy when he has
played.
The midfielder’s 16-month spell at United has also been blighted
by knee problems.
Fergie has now lost patience and would sell in January if the
offer was right. But he does very little business during the winter
transfer window so a £15m summer move looks certain.
Fergie was startled Hargreaves’ best games for the club last
term were at right back when he stood-in for crocked Gary
Neville.
Hargreaves form and fitness has also left him sidelined by
England since May.
But he could find a home at Manchester City and there is likely
to be interest from Barcelona.
