Fergie confident of Tevez deal

Sir Alex Ferguson is confident Carlos Tevez will eventually end up at Manchester United.

Tevez is currently at the centre of a major transfer wrangle with present club West Ham and the Premier League refusing to sanction a move to Old Trafford even though terms have been agreed with the player's agent Kia Joorabchian.

The Premier League is anxious the Hammers should be the main financial beneficiaries of any move having only authorised the player to participate in the final three games of last season on the understanding that the contract with Joorabchian had been ripped up.

Joorabchian, however, is adamant that Tevez remains his property and any financial windfall should come to him.

United legal expert Maurice Watkins has been left to find a solution to the impasse, with the Old Trafford club anxious to push through a deal quickly, but Ferguson is certain the 23-year-old former Corinthians star will finally join his squad.
