United reveal Tevez contract option

Published August 14, 2007

MANCHESTER, Aug 13: Manchester United unveiled Argentina international signing Carlos Tevez on Monday and said they had an option to keep him longer than his original two-year deal.

He joined the Premier League champions in a complicated deal from West Ham after playing a big part in saving the London club from relegation last season.

“We have a two-year deal and then we also have the right to purchase Carlos at any time within that period for a set sum,” Manchester United chief executive David Gill said.
