Manchester United are making
a shock bid to re-sign Carlos Tevez from under the noses of
Manchester City.
The Daily Star says City boss Mark Hughes had hoped to
clinch a £25.5m move for Tevez before next week’s pre-season tour
to South Africa.
But the Argentina striker is in no rush to finalise his future
and is biding his time. Tevez’s arrival has been delayed due to the
amount of work required to ensure there is no trace of any
third-party ownership arrangement.
But the Eastlands side could yet be pipped to the post in the
race for Tevez by new Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti.
Chelsea have been plotting a deal for the 25-year-old and remain
hopeful.
Manchester United are also considering making a shock late move
to bring Tevez back to Old Trafford. Sir Alex Ferguson failed in
his initial attempts to seal a deal to prolong the striker’s Old
Trafford stay. But the United boss may yet make an improved
offer.
