Manchester United will reportedly offer John O'Shea and Wes Brown in exchange for long-term tarrget Owen Hargreaves. The Bayern Munich midfielder has made no secret of his desire to move to Old Trafford and the Reds are expected to make a move for the England international in January. The Germans have repeatedly stated they would not sell the England international but the Reds will use firnge players O'Shea and Brown in an attempt to sweeten the deal. Neither player has been able to hold down a first-team place this season and may see moving abraod as a chance to resurrect their careers.

As a United fan this would be a good deal in my opinion as Hargreaves would be a great acquisition for United. Though I'm not sure if Bayern will really want accept just Brown and O'Shea so I'm thinking money would have to be exchanged also. And there's also the matter that Brown/O'Shea may not want to move to Bayern.

But either way, hopefully come January Man Utd will finally sign Hargreaves, to fill the defensive midfield role I believe they need.

If I was Bayern I wouldn't want any part of that deal

For me it has to be either Carrick or Hargreaves... not both. I would have preferably liked Hargreaves to have been the one who originally signed for United. I think he offers that little bit extra.

As for Brown and O'Shea going the other way... there's no way Bayern would have that. Don't get me wrong, they're both quality players, but not good enough for a club of Bayerns stature to buy. Plus neither would fill the hole Hargreaves would be vacating.
