HARGREAVES PONDERS OLD TRAFFORD MOVE

By Simon Stone, PA Sport

Owen Hargreaves has admitted he is considering an offer to join

Manchester United.

The England star - who is due to feature in central midfield in

tonight's friendly with Greece at Old Trafford - claimed earlier this

week he was as close to completing a move to the Premiership than he

had ever been.

Hargreaves only recently signed a lucrative contract extension with

Bayern Munich but has never made any secret of the fact he would like

join an English club at some stage in his career.

Although he spoke in general terms on Monday about that desire,

without revealing which, if any, clubs had expressed a firm

interest.

However, it now transpires Sir Alex Ferguson has made a move for

the Canadian-born midfielder, who has spent all his professional

career with Bayern.

And, with just a fortnight to go before the transfer window closes,

Hargreaves admits he is sorely tempted by the prospect of joining the

Red Devils.

``The offer from Manchester United is fantastic,'' Hargreaves told

Sport Bild magazine.

``Particularly as an England international, it is of interest and

you never know if such an opportunity will arise again.

``Now is the time to take the next step to develop even further.''

Ferguson has already brought one new midfielder to Old Trafford

this summer in £18.6million man Michael Carrick, who is currently

injured.

But the Red Devils boss has stated on more than one occasion he is

on the hunt for more reinforcements.

Villarreal's Marcos Senna has been heavily tipped to join United

but, having insisted at the weekend his club would no longer be taken

for mugs in the transfer market, Ferguson appears unwilling to meet

the £8million asking price.

He did himself no harm in the WC, would be a good move to ply his trade in the Prem, shame its the Mancs..... £8m is a pittance today esp for an international English midfielder
