Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer has hinted that England international Owen Hargreaves could be sold in the summer.

Manchester United have been long-time admirers of the tenacious midfielder but Bayern have always rejected their advances in the past.

But Beckenbauer told Premiere TV in Germany: "If we really get an offer of 25 or 30 million euros for Hargreaves I would think about it very seriously.

"I think the club management think the same, as a way of satisfying the wishes of the player."

Hargreaves recently came back from a broken leg and has won back his place in the Bayern team.

He played in the 2-0 home loss to AC Milan on Wednesday as Bayern crashed out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage.
