Real Madrid want to take Carlos Tevez from Manchester United Football Club.

Although the Argentine international is only on loan at Old Trafford, the Reds have the option to buy his permanent registration for a fee of £30million by the end of the season.

However, the former West Ham United striker has been left kicking his heels since the arrival of Dimitar Berbatov, and Real Madrid are looking to step in with an offer in the New Year.

“Tevez is worried about not being in United’s first-choice team,” revealed Argentina coach Diego Maradona in The Sun earlier this week. (fansfc.com)

One has to feel a little sorry for Carlos Tevez, he was one of the top performers in last season’s impressive double-winning team, but now he struggles to get a first-team start. It’s obvious to see that Dimitar is a class act but, in many ways, people will have to wonder if such a signing was necessary. If so, where was that going to leave Tevez? If Real do come in for the Argentinean, I guess he will have little choice but to accept a deal that might guarantee him a better chance of regular starts, but boy will such a move piss Fergie off big time!

Do Man United fans think that Carlos has been harshly treated?
