Report: Carlos Tevez Weighing Up Manchester United Alternatives

Carlos Tevez is starting to seriously contemplate a future outside of Manchester United, according to a report in the British broadsheet The Guardian.

While the 24-year-old, who moved to Old Trafford in 2007, would prefer to extend his stay with the Red Devils, it is thought he is not happy that his future is yet to be decided.

Apparently, chief executive David Gill had insisted that United would pay the €24.3 million (£22m) needed to secure his services permanently before Christmas, so Tevez is concerned it is still yet to be done.

Although the 5ft 6in Argentina forward has started 22 games this season - as many as Dimitar Berbatov - a handful of those have been in the League Cup, and it has become apparent that once everybody is fit there is no place in the starting line-up for the former West Ham player.

Spanish giants Real Madrid and Italian heavyweights Inter are believed to be possible destinations for the former Boca Juniors and Corinthians star, as, it is alleged, are Manchester City.

Citizens manager Mark Hughes may have acquired Robinho and Craig Bellamy this season and could still swoop for Roque Santa Cruz, but an 'inside source' at Eastlands is quoted as saying, "Mark [Hughes] certainly likes him [Carlos Tevez], he's very much a Mark Hughes type of player."
