England midfielder Owen Hargreaves waved goodbye to Bayern
Munich and then vowed to "win everything" at Manchester
United.
After agreeing a £17million switch to United last month, the
26-year-old Canada-born player brought the curtain down on a decade
in Bavaria with a farewell press conference in Passau.
"I would never have thought that I would move to Germany," he
said.
"I am very happy that FC Bayern gave me such an opportunity. I wish
them all the best. The last 10 years were a dream."
Although Hargreaves was not able to leave the Bavarians on a high
note - they finished last season in their lowest Bundesliga
position since he joined from the Calgary Foothills club - he still
managed to achieve all he set out to do in Germany.
He won four Bundesliga titles with Bayern as well as the 2001
Champions League and Intercontinental Cup (World Club
Championship).
Hargreaves is hoping his move to Old Trafford will not interrupt
his run of success.
He said: "I set lots of targets over the last decade and I have
also fulfilled them. I expect that to continue.
"A new era is starting for me now and I hope to achieve even more.
I don't have any concrete aims, but you have got to win everything
at Manchester."
