Ferguson says Hargreaves not coming to United in window

LONDON, Feb 1 (Reuters) Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said that Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves would not be joining the club, just an hour before the end of the January transfer window.

The England international, who has just recovered from a broken leg sustained in September, is a long-time transfer target for United. Bayern turned down a sizeable bid earlier this month and the sacking of coach Felix Magath yesterday changed nothing.

''There's nothing happening in January. We will carry on with the players we have got,'' Ferguson told Sky Sports News after United beat Watford 4-0 yesterday.
