Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer has admitted for the first time that Owen Hargreaves could join Manchester United this summer - providing the price is right.

Speaking on Premiere television just a few hours before Bayern's Champions League quarter-final against AC Milan, Beckenbauer said: "If it is right that there is an offer of €25-€30 million euros for Hargreaves, then I would seriously consider it.

"I think the board also think this way to satisfy the needs of the player."
