Ex-United midfielder to make deadline day move to local rivals
Sky Sports sources understand Manchester City are confident of signing Owen Hargreaves.
The former Manchester United midfielder is set to make the move across the city to join Roberto Mancini's side after undergoing a medical at Bridgewater hospital on Tuesday.
Hargreaves is a free agent after leaving Old Trafford when his contract expired at the end of last season.
He endured four injury-plagued years at United, making just 39 appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's side after suffering with a chronic tendinitis problem.
Several clubs have been linked with the former Bayern Munich man this summer, including Aston Villa, Tottenham and Leicester City.
West Brom have also offered the 30-year-old a contract, but it appears big-spending City are poised to win the race for his signature.
Hargreaves would provide manager Mancini another option in midfield as City prepare to embark on their maiden UEFA Champions League campaign.
