Man United Resolute On Carlos Tevez Permanent Deal Even As Man City Loom

Manchester United have dismissed speculation over Carlos Tevez’s future at Old Trafford, and stressed that they are on the right track to sign the Argentina forward permanently.

The 24-year-old former Boca Juniors, Corinthians and West Ham United ace has established himself as a key player in Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, for his energetic displays after having joined the Red Devils in a two-season loan deal in 2007 summer.

Tevez is now keen to sign a long-term deal with the Red Devils and a price-tag of £30million has been reported for the proposed transfer if United want to keep him. Recently there was speculation that the move may be delayed and Tevez, who is also reportedly a target for cash-rich Manchester City, getting frustrated following summer-arrival of Dimitar Berbatov. However, the current Premiership and European champions have refuted the rumours.

“(Chief executive) David Gill told the papers in South Africa in July that we would hope to conclude a deal with Carlos before the new year,” said a spokesman.

“That is still our aim. The clocks haven't even gone back yet, so to talk of delays is nonsense. Both the club and Carlos are relaxed about the situation.”
