CARLOS TEVEZ should make his Manchester United debut against Dunfermline next Wednesday after his delayed transfer from West Ham was finally given the go-ahead. But the Hammers’ £6million bid to sign Kieron Dyer from Newcastle has hit trouble with St James’ Park chiefs demanding an extra £2m.
Argentine striker Tevez, 23, trained with his new team-mates on Friday morning before checking into the Lowry Hotel in Manchester. But he will not be registered in time to play Chelsea in Sunday's Community Shield. The delay is because businessman Kia Joorabchian has to raise £2m to pay West Ham for the hitman’s registration.
With Joorabchian’s business based in Brazil and the time difference with London, it will be Monday before the funds are in place to be transferred. United boss Alex Ferguson was impressed by Tevez’s display during a training session at Carrington yesterday.
Fergie said: “We’re delighted it seems to have been sorted. He trained with us on Friday morning and did very well considering he’s had three weeks off since the Copa America. “He did a good bit of work and was very enthusiastic. I think it will be Wednesday when we see him play.” Meanwhile, Dyer’s move to West Ham from Newcastle has been delayed. Hammers boss Alan Curbishley was prepared to pay £5m plus another £1m based on future club success.
But it is understood a row has broken out between the clubs over accusations of unofficial approaches made to the player. Mega-dosh in for Posh ALEX FERGUSON has promised to field £50million worth of talent in Manchester United’s friendly at Peterborough today.
Fergie faxed his squad list to Posh director of football Barry Fry — and the names included Owen Hargreaves, Anderson and Nani. Fry said: “I was stunned when I saw those three on the fax — along with names such as Mikael Silvestre, Darren Fletcher, Tomasz Kuszczak, Phil Bardsley, Gerard Pique and up and coming Lee Martin.
“You always trust Fergie to support football’s small fry and we’re delighted. That should ensure a full house.” Anderson made his United debut in last night’s 2-0 win at Doncaster. Darron Gibson and Sean Evans netted as Anderson tip-toed his way through a half.
