Owen Hargreaves' agent has signalled a definite end to the saga of his client's possible move to Manchester United from Bayern Munich.

The 25-year-old England international midfielder had made it known that he wanted to make the switch to Old Trafford, but Bayern were unwilling to budge, with Hargreaves under contract for another four years.

Now Hargreaves' agent, Roma Grill, has admitted that his client will have to stay put for the time being.

He told the Daily Star: "There is no chance of the deal taking place.

"We have to accept there is no way Bayern will allow this transfer to happen.

"We did everything we could to grant Owen his wish to play for Manchester United but his only hope is that, if United remain interested in him, the deal could happen at a later date."
