"The Munich warned the security of the England national team Owen Hargreaves to forget about the move to Manchester.

The English club has been expressing its desire to acquire the security of "Bayern" for some time now, and the 25-year-old Englishman himself publicly expressed his desire to move to Manchester.

However, the leadership of the multiple German champions was very unhappy with such player's statements.

"Hargreaves is advised to keep quiet," said Bayern manager Uli Hoeness. "Otherwise, he will really anger me and it will not benefit him at all. I cannot understand why he continues to raise this question after our two conversations."

The England national team member did not play in the Bundesliga match against "Bochum" on Sunday after the conversation with the team's leadership.

Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson has been looking for a defensive midfielder all summer, and it is believed that he would most like to attract O. Hargreaves to his team, for which he is ready to pay around 17 million pounds.

However, Bayern, who have already lost midfielder Michael Ballack this summer, do not want to release O. Hargreaves, whose contract runs until 2010.

"He will not be sold under any circumstances," said U. Hoeness. "He should accept the decisions of those above him and show some respect."

O. Hargreaves has spent his entire professional career at the Munich club, where he arrived from his native Canada in 1997 at the age of sixteen."
