Man Utd talk won't unsettle Hargreaves
Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves won't let Manchester United's interest distract him before the end of the season.United made an offer for Hargreaves in January - with reports suggesting the Red Devils were prepared to pay £20million for his services.
Bayern turned down the bid at that time but club president Franz Beckenbauer has softened his stance and the door could now be open for a possible summer move.
Hargreaves told BBC Sport: "My job is as a footballer - the other stuff I don't control. I'll sit down with the club and these things will be discussed then, not out in the open.
"Franz Beckenbauer is the president of the club and obviously takes a keen interest in the situation.
"It's not very often an offer of that magnitude [United's previous bid] comes about and that's why there's so much interest.
"But I have a job to do as a player. I have a game to play on Sunday [against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga] and that's where my focus is."
