MANCHESTER UNITED will not be able to renew their loan deal with Carlos Tevez.
In fact, the only way the Premier League champions can keep the 25-year-old Argie striker after this season is to buy him — and the asking price is £32million.
Tev is allowed to play for the Red Devils because he signed a two-year loan deal before new Premier League rules came into force last June.
Those regulations forbid similar loan arrangements, where players are owned by third parties and not a club. Tevez is still owned by agent Kia Joorabchian.
And a Premier League spokesman explained: “He would not be eligible to play under the new rules on third-party ownership we introduced in June.
“But the rules are not applied retrospectively so he can play for United under his two-year loan arrangement from 2007.”
Tevez will now go to the highest bidder at the end of the season — but he will not be able to play beyond this summer unless a club buys out his registration.
They will then play him — or loan him out.
Oh shit........
Oh Yes, if Sir Alex dun wan good luck on West Ham Utd
SAF better sign him for good... else who's playing backup striker?
Giggsy? CR7? Welbeck is not good enuf to play week in and out IF bbt or ronney gets injured *touch wood*
