Owen Hargreaves understands why Carlos Tevez is doing
his utmost to secure a move to Manchester United.
Tevez is trying to negotiate his exit from West Ham United in order
to clinch a switch to the Premier League champions, with the matter
likely to be decided by Fifa.
The Argentine could join Hargreaves as a new addition to the United
squad after the midfielder's transfer from Bayern Munich earlier in
the summer.
Sir Alex Ferguson spent 12 months chasing the England
international, who admits it is difficult to ignore interest from
The Red Devils.
"I think sometimes these things are difficult," Hargreaves, who may
not feature on United's pre-season tour of the Far East due to a
knee injury, told Sky Sports News.
"Carlos Tevez is a fantastic player and he is obviously wanted by
different people.
"It's tough to say who he plays for at the moment, or who owns him,
I think those are things that need to be sorted out.
"Obviously, when the opportunity comes around for any player to
join Manchester United then, whether you are Argentinian or
English, every player would love the opportunity to play for
Manchester United, and he's the same.
"I think any time Manchester United expresses an interest it's
difficult for any player to refuse and I think Carlos Tevez is the
same as myself. I think he's very keen on joining the champions of
England.
"He had a fantastic season last year and hopefully he will be part
of the squad, but we will see how things pan out.
"We have a fantastic group of players at the moment and with the
squad we have we can be very pleased as well."
