  Boss: Tevez deal is close
  
  Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that United are trying to sign Argentine striker Carlos Tevez, and he hopes to complete a deal in the near future.
  
  Frenzied speculation in the latter half of last week predicted that United would have wrapped up a deal for the West Ham star over the weekend.
  
  No deal has yet been completed, but Sir Alex claims that - as far as he is aware - there are no complications in a deal which is ready to go through.
  
  "We are in negotiations, which has been well documented," he said, speaking at a press conference to unveil new signings Owen Hargreaves and Nani.
  
  "[Club Solicitor] Maurice Watkins has been working on it for a month, maybe more, to make sure the deal is perfectly clear and there are no side issues.
  
  "To be honest I thought it would have all been sorted by the weekend just gone. It must be the Premier League that is holding it up.
  
  "From what David [Gill] and Maurice said everything was ready to go. Unless something's being held back from us, I don't know of anything that's holding it up.
  
  "The essential parts of the deal are all agreed, hopefully it will be finalised soon."

  so, with the imminent signing of Tevez, I wonder who is the target man for Man U strikers?
  
  Or SAF has intention to push Rooney forward to play as an all out striker partnering Tevez - given the array of attacking players they have? Bcos tevez is a good dribbler, but he lacked height, hence dribbling inside to cross will not work - unless they are aiming for head of Anderson / Rooney.
  
  Is Anderson a good header of balls?

  I think like when Saha's injured, MUFC chose to play with fluidity than with one target man. this allows the wings to cut in and do their damage, ala Ronaldo.
  
  I think SAF may be aiming for the same. Making it a nightmare for the defenders to mark anyone.
