Manchester United v Tottenham HotspurKick-off: Sat Apr 25, 5.30pm, OldTrafford, ManchesterRadio: Setanta Sports 1Radio: BBC Radio Five Live [LNB]Despite an insistence by United chief executive David Gill last summer that a permanent contract for the Argentina forward, to replace his current two-year loan agreement, would be thrashed out following the closure of last August's transfer window, negotiations have stalled between the club and Tevez's representatives.[LNB] Related ArticlesUnited increase ticket pricesVidic: United back as teamWin tickets to Man Utd v SpursSir Alex Ferguson backs unpopular Dimitar BerbatovManchester United stand to lose Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo to Real MadridManchester United v Portsmouth: Game ZoneUnited are faced with a transfer fee of more than £20m to make Tevez their own player at the end of the season, but the 25-year-old has struggled to earn a regular starting spot following the £30.75m purchase of Dimitar Berbatov earlier this season and it now appears unlikely that the European champions will sanction such a large outlay on a player no longer regarded as a first choice by manager Sir Alex Ferguson.[LNB]Tevez, who has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season, remains a firm favourite with the United supporters, but he admits that he is now likely to move elsewhere at the end of the season.[LNB]Speaking to Radio del Plata, Tevez said: "I have many offers, not only from Spain, so I need to see which club I can go to and what can be done.[LNB]"We must not only consider the money because I also have to ensure my family feel comfortable, especially my daughter. So I have a lot to think about.[LNB]"I have trained every day and never said anything against my team-mates or anyone, but it is true that there are other options for next season.[LNB]"There are many players and they all need to play, but I have not played in important matches. The 'clasico' against Chelsea, I did not play. Those are the games that I like to play in." United have been criticised by their own supporters over plans to raise ticket prices by £1-a-game at Old Trafford next season.[LNB]Sean Bones, vice-chair of Manchester United supporters' trust, said: "It's extremely disappointing, at a time when United supporters are struggling to come to terms with the economic situation, and other football clubs are responding by freezing and even reducing prices, that the (club owners) Glazers have again decided to hike prices above the rate of inflation.[LNB]"It has been said in the past that the owners of the club, will squeeze United supporters until the pips squeak, and this is clearly the case."
