Man Utd set to sign Tevez to permanent deal

The Times says United chief executive David Gill held meetings with Tevez’s representative Kia Joorabchian last week.

It is believed a deal could be agreed before United fly to Japan for the Club World Cup in the middle of December.

United paid between £6 million and £10 million when they signed him to a two-year loan deal.

It is believed they will have to pay Joorabchian £20 million more for the rights to the player.
