Latest in the Carlos Tevez – Manchester United transfer saga

Well we had a post some time back about Manchester United still being upbeat about signing Carlos Tevez…

But the whole saga seems to be never-ending.

Carlos Tevez fears his season could be severely handicapped due to lack of pre-season preparation.

The dispute between West Ham and Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian has held up his move to Manchester United and even the last day of the issue reaching the courts seems to be around the corner. An out of court settlement would have been fine for everyone, except of course Kia Joorabchian.

Tevez had been in peak form off late and helped Argentina reach the final of this summer's Copa America. But complete lack of any pre-season work and friendlies surely is not the best preparation for him.

"We need a solution quickly so that I can get on with my career," Tevez told the Daily Mail.
"To play for a super club like Manchester United without any pre-season work behind me is going to be a real handicap."

Meanwhile his countryman Juan Sebastian Veron has warned Carlos Tevez that a move to Manchester United could ruin his career.

Veron had made a £28 million move to Old Trafford in 2001, but failed to hit top form in two injury-hit seasons and then moved on to Chelsea. Even at Chelsea, Veron flattered to deceive and ultimately moved on to Inter Milan.

Now the Argentinian playmaker has told Tevez that joining the Premier League champions could be a big mistake.

Veron told the Daily Star: "Carlos will find that United is not like West Ham in any aspect. The change will be enormous and if things do not go well he could suffer a mortal fall in fortune."

"To triumph at United is not east even if you are a superstar. Some players leave the club because of the enormous pressure. The people at Old Trafford are very critical."
