Rooney: Keeping Tevez Is Crucial

The 24-year-old Argentine, who is still officially only on loan at the club, fit in seamlessly in his first season at Old Trafford, having formed a formidable understanding with Rooney and Ronaldo, which only promises to get better.

"It is crucial to get him signed and I am sure that will happen," said Rooney.

"Carlos loves playing football here, he's enjoying it so I don't see why it will be a problem.

"We saw him at West Ham what a great player he was and how hard he works for the team," he added.

"I had no doubts that we could play together and from training with him when he first came you could immediately see the qualities he had. I couldn't wait to play with him.

"Towards the end of the season we didn't play together a lot, but when we did, we did really well.

"He's been brilliant. He's a battler, he works so hard and has scored 19 goals, which is brilliant."

Tevez is currently on loan from Media Sports Investments, a controversial situation that is usually forbidden due to the Premier League’s strict stance against third-party deals. Although the loan is technically just halfway through now, both he and the club are more than keen to extend his stay far beyond the two years initially agreed.

they will keep him lah…already Man U are deprived of strikers. Tevez wants to stay and he will stay.

Now, Man U please go out and get another striker and ship out that sick-pot Saha.

Tevez takes his chances very well when he is at the right place at the right time resulting in a goal,a good example from Rooney accidental passes or shots at goal

well i think it is the opposite,

tevez wastes so many chances in a game,

he is only super good after he scored.

if he does not score, he will just be another version of dirk kuyt..

but man u should keep him since they are short of striker

btw i am a man utd fan
