Manchester United are expected to tie up the permanent signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves this week.

The England international has passed his medical and will pen a five-year deal at Old Trafford after a £17million transfer fee was agreed between the two clubs.

The 26-year-old is looking forward to finally playing in the Premiership, telling the Manchester Evening News: "I have been lucky to play in big games and win some wonderful titles.

"I have won everything a player can in Germany - titles, the Champions League and even the World Club Championship.

"It is now about experiencing that somewhere else and I can't wait to start over again. The prospect of adding a Premiership winner's medal to my collection is incredibly exciting."
