RYAN GIGGS wants Alex Ferguson to break the bank to sign Owen Hargreaves next month.
England midfielder Hargreaves, 25, is desperate to join Manchester United from Bayern Munich.
And United wing wizard Giggs declared: “He is a player who would improve us.
"You want strength in depth and we’d be really strong with him.”
German giants Bayern have consistently refused to discuss selling the £18million-rated World Cup star to their Champions League rivals.
But Giggs rates Hargreaves the perfect player to give them the edge over Chelsea in the race for the title.
He added: “Hargreaves is a quality player and showed that in the summer.”
United boss Ferguson has admitted Hargreaves remains his priority buy for the transfer window — even though the Canada-born star is still recovering from the broken leg he suffered in September.
Hargreaves is as determined as ever to move to Old Trafford.
He said: “Anybody who sees United play at the moment knows they are very special.”
