OWEN HARGREAVES believes he can be the final piece in the jigsaw
as Manchester United try to wrestle the Premiership title from
Chelsea.
The England midfielder is desperate for a move to Old Trafford in
the January transfer window and that could give Alex Fergusons
league leaders a massive boost.
Bayern Munich star Hargreaves, 25, almost joined United in the
summer as boss Fergie made a £16million move for the player. But
Bayern insisted they would need double that amount.
Speaking on Fives John Barnes Football Night, Hargreaves said: I
was flattered by Uniteds interest in the summer and I made my
intentions clear as to what I would have liked to have
happened.
They thought I would add a piece to their puzzle and, with my
local connections, I think I could have added something to
them.
The midfield anchorman is currently on the comeback trail after
breaking a leg but Fergie is believed to be preparing another bid
to test Bayerns resolve once again.
Hargreaves was heavily criticised in Germany for admitting he
wanted to leave Munich for Manchester but he insists he has no
regrets. He said: To have the opportunity to play for a club like
Man United would be a dream come true. I think United is one of
the biggest and best clubs in the world.
Its an honour that United are interested in me, especially when
you look at the squad of players they already have there. In my
opinion, the Premier League is the strongest league at the
moment.
