The Talking Point : Should Manchester United Seal the Deal For Tevez?

Manchester United signed Carlos Tevez from West Ham United in what proved to be arguably the most controversial signing of the century with the involvement of MSI, the third party.

In his first season at Old Trafford, Tevez scored a total of 19 goals in 48 appearances for the Red Devils, 14 of which came in the Premier League.

However, Dimitar Berbatov's high-profile arrival from Tottenham Hotspur has reduced Tevez to the bench for most of this season.

The Argentine forward has only one league goal to his name this season, which came in a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.

Despite the drop in Sir Alex Ferguson's pecking order, Tevez remains confident to fight for his place at the club.

Tevez is currently at Manchester United in a two-year loan deal; however, Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, earlier revealed he planned to sign the striker on a permanent deal which would be worth around £31m for the Red Devils.

If rumors are to be believed, United are having second thoughts of securing Tevez on a permanent contract.

The deal is expected to be quite expensive and United already have the likes of Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, and Cristiano Ronaldo present at the club as their three main goal sources.

Frazier Campbell has hit form in his loan period at Tottenham Hotspur. Giuseppe Rossi's contract at Villarreal has a clause which states Manchester United can re-buy the American-born Italian forward.

United's youth currently holds promising youngsters such as Danny Wellbeck and the Angolan forward, Alberto Manucho.

Real Madrid are speculated to be interested in signing Tevez.
