Fergie won’t ask Tevez to split with Joorabchian

ALEX FERGUSON has distanced Manchester United from suggestions they could ask Carlos Tevez to break his contract with his agent Kia Joorabchian.

United are trying to broker a deal that would keep Tevez at Old Trafford beyond the end of his present ‘leasing’ agreement, which is due to expire at the end of the month.

With Ferguson admitting after Wednesday’s win at Wigan that negotiations were more complicated because United were having to deal with Joorabchian rather than a club to gain Tevez’s registration, it was claimed the Old Trafford outfit may use European law to break the deal between the player and his trusted advisor.
