Owen Hargreaves Wants To Manchester United Quickly

Calgary-raised midfielder Owen Hargreaves is continuing to press for a transfer from Bayern Munich to Manchester United.

But so far the German champion is resisting his attempts and has threatened to report United to FIFA if the English side doesn't back off. Hargreaves, 25, is under contract to Bayern through 2010. The Bild newspaper has reported that Hargreaves has been fined by Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness.

Hargreaves had been expected to talk to the media Wednesday but had little to say when he left Bayern's training facility.

"For the time being, I will not comment on this issue any more," said Hargreaves, according to sportinglife.com.

"I am still not 100 per cent and I am going home to get some rest."

Hargreaves was omitted from the Bayern squad for Sunday's 2-1 Bundesliga win over Bochum with the club saying the midfielder was suffering from flu. He also was missing from Bayern's 4-0 friendly loss to Barcelona on Tuesday.
