Tevez moves United to the edge

CHANTS of ‘Fergie, Fergie sign him up” rang around the JJB Stadium as Carlos Tevez inspired Manchester United to a victory that leaves them just a point from retaining their title.

And while Alex Ferguson insisted after the win that he wants Tevez to stay at Old Trafford, a spokesman for Tevez’s advisor, Kia Joorabchian, last night denied the club had made an offer aimed at keeping the Argentinian at Old Trafford.

The Argentinian equalised with an impudent back-heel after Hugo Rodallega had given the Latics a first-half lead before Michael Carrick scored an 87th-minute winner to leave United only a point away from retaining their Premier League title.
