Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that United are still hopeful of
keeping Carlos Tevez beyond the end of his loan spell, and he’s
unlikely to find any dissenting voices in the Reds’ dressing
room.
The Argentine underlined his worth with his second vital goal in
four days, audaciously flicking United level at Wigan, and
colleagues Michael Carrick and John O’Shea were quick to back any
move to keep Tevez at the club.
“The goal was typical Carlos,” Carrick told MUTV. “Some of the goals he’s scored since he’s been here
have been so important and tonight’s was a terrific finish. It got
us in the game again and after that we were just pushing for the
winner.
“He’s a top player and the goals he’s contributed since he’s
been here have often come at big times for us. We obviously don’t
want to lose players, we’ve got a great squad and hopefully we can
keep it together.”
O’Shea clearly concurs, adding: “That (the goal) is what he is
all about. Carlos is a real handful. You saw the commitment he has
got to playing in a United shirt and I don’t think any player in
the dressing room would like to see him go, that’s for sure.”
