Alex Ferguson will complete the signing of hargreaves, but don't expect it to become news until the end of the window, he will be unveiled alongside Carlos Tevez with Ferguson opting for a 2 3 1 formation with Hargreaves and Carrick in the centre, Rooney and Ronaldo on the wings with Rooney given a free role similar to Ronaldinho's, Tevez playing just behind Saha. The fee's will be 17 million for Hargreaves and Tevez at a cut price 17.5m. Looks like it could be good times for Fergie, a line up that looks like it will play beautiful football, an addition we need at the moment in the premiership. Chelsea will sign Torres in order to prevent him joining any other premiership side next summer, the fee will be overpriced at 30+ million.
Manchester United are close to sealing the £16.9 million pound transfer of controversial Argentinean forward, Carlos Tevez.
The player, who has gone on strike from current club, Corinthians, will reportedly sign a five year contract with the Old Trafford outfit, by the close of the European transfer window. His agent, Adrián Ruocco, who has been in England trying to negotiate the transfer of Tevez to Manchester United, confirmed to the Placar agency, that his client was “very close to moving to a club in England”. Although he did not disclose the name of the club, sources in South America claim that Manchester United will be the eventual destination of Carlos Tevez.
This would represent a major coup for United as they had faced stiffed competition for Tevez’s signature from the likes of Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Internazionale. Chelsea were also very interested in Tevez and were even believed to have made a last minute bid for the player, in a complicated deal, which would have seen Tevez join French club, Rennes, on loan. However, the player rejected the move, sighting a preference to join Argentinean compatriot, Gabriel Heinze, at Manchester United, rather than go on loan to France, for a season.
