Bayern Munich have warned
Manchester United that they will not be under any pressure to sell
Owen Hargreaves in the summer.
The Bavarian giants dug their heels in last summer to resist
overtures from United for Hargreaves.
The England international is tied to Bayern on a long-term deal and
the German champions are once again preparing a summer
defensive.
"We'll be presenting another first-class balance sheet this year so
we can say 'no' if a club like United comes in with a large offer,"
Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is quoted as saying in
The Sun.
Hargreaves has made no secret of his desire to move to Old
Trafford, as Sir Alex Ferguson feels he is the perfect foil for his
attacking stars, but Bayern's stance suggests the Scot will have to
be at his persuasive best if he is to land the
25-year-old.
