Bayern Munich have agreed to sell Owen Hargreaves to Manchester United. Club president Franz Beckenbauer told German TV: "Owen is leaving. That was the player's wish. It's a good match and it's also a good deal financially."
Beckenbauer said the transfer fee was "in the range" of £17m - which would be a record for a Bundesliga player.
Hargreaves, 26, has been at Bayern for 10 years but after starring for England at the World Cup last year, he admitted he wanted to play in the Premiership.
United quickly moved to open negotiations with Bayern and made offers in the summer transfer window and in January but the German club refused to sell - until now.
Hargreaves is expected to sign a four-year deal with the newly-crowned Premiership champions.
