Bayern Munich's general manager Uli Hoeness has made it clear to Owen Hargreaves that he will not be sold to Manchester United.

The England midfielder has pleaded with Bayern to be allowed to move to Old Trafford after United confirmed they are keen to sign him.

Hoeness is furious about Hargreaves' attitude to the saga and has now ordered him to focus on Bayern's attempts to retain the Bundesliga title.

"He would be well-advised to keep quiet, otherwise I really will get mad and that will not be pleasant for him," said Hoeness.

"I cannot understand why, after two discussions, he keeps coming back to me.

"There is no chance whatsoever that we will let him go and he has got to learn to accept the decisions taken by those above him. That also comes down to respect."

Hargreaves was left out of Bayern's squad for Sunday's 2-1 win at Bochum, with flu given as the official reason for his absence.
