Manchester United believe that they will still be able to sign Argentine striking sensation Carlos Tevez before the transfer window slams shut on August 31.
The transfer of the 23-year-old is still under question and the latest development has seen Tevez’ advisor Kia Joorabchian issue High Court proceedings against West Ham United in a bid to resolve the thorny issue of the player's ownership.
Joorabchian acted just hours after Fifa recommended that the case should be referred to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
World football's governing body 's decision was welcomed by the Premier League, Football Association and West Ham.
Manchester United will just now have to wait for the dispute to be resolved, knowing if any judgement came down on the side of the Hammers, it would almost certainly scupper any hope they have of securing Tevez before the transfer deadline.
Red Devils chief executive David Gill is confident the matter will eventually be resolved to the nine-times Premiership champions' satisfaction.
Gill said:
"I have not been involved in this and it is not Manchester United's decision. Clearly, it is a dispute between Tevez, the owners and West Ham. Hopefully, that can be solved relatively quickly and he can come to join us. I would have thought they have taken this decision in the belief that he can join us."
But would Tevez and Rooney be able to strike up a fruitful striking partnership at Old Trafford? Aren’t the two players a little too similar?
