United hold Tevez talks
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed that Carlos Tevez has been offered a permanent deal at Old Trafford.[LNB] The Argentina star's two-year loan with the defending Premier League and European champions is due to expire at the end of the season and he has been linked with a move to Chelsea, Liverpool or Manchester City.[LNB]But Ferguson has always maintained that he is keen to keep the 25-year-old in his attacking armoury, and the Scot has stated that chief executive David Gill is working to push a deal through.[LNB]After watching substitute Tevez - who is owned by Media Sports Investment - score United's equaliser as they came from behind to win 2-1 at Wigan on Wednesday, the Red Devils boss has said that the forward has been offered terms. [LNB]"He is a fantastic little player. He knows I want him to stay," Ferguson told Sky Sports 1 when asked about the former West Ham player, who has been rumoured to be unhappy with a lack of first-team football with the Red Devils. [LNB]Problem"I have had a chat with him today. David Gill has had some meetings today and it has progressed, I'm sure, further.[LNB]"We hope we get what we want to get. I'm sorry to have to keep on with this all the time, but it has never changed."[LNB]Ferguson believes that the stumbling block in a permanent deal has been the fact that business is being conducted with Media Sports Investment.[LNB]"We are not negotiating with a football club, that is the problem," he added.[LNB]"I think Carlos himself is okay. I think the terms he has been offered are good."[LNB]
