That has been a strong rumor for the past 3 days and several sites are now reporting that Carlos Tevez has indeed signed a deal with Man Utd, the transfer fee is estimated to be £20 million which is an enormous sum and has propelled Utd as the busiest club and most money spend in the transfer market this pre-season with a total of £70 million spent.

The Tevez move will be completed next week, subject to any challenge from West Ham, who still claim to own the registration of the player who saved them from relegation last season.

Tevez, who was once fined while playing for Corinthians for turning up to one of the Brazilian club’s press conferences wearing a Manchester United shirt, is a close friend of United’s Argentine defender Gabriel Heinze. Tevez was reportedly a guest at United’s Premiership title-winning party in London.

“He just cannot contain his excitement at the news,” said a source close to the Argentina camp.
