Tevez request puts United on red alert (23 Aug 2006 06:41 GMT)
Manchester United target Carlos Tevez has revealed he wants to quit Corinthians for a move to Europe after falling out with the Brazilian club.
Tevez demanded a transfer after falling out with new coach and former Brazil goalkeeper Emerson Leao. The pair clashed after Tevez was stripped of the club captaincy because he cannot speak Portuguese.
Tevez is valued at around £25million and United will face stiff competition for his signature from Bayern Munich and AC Milan.
"This may have been my last game in the Corinthians shirt," Tevez said. I would like to stay but I have to think about what is better for me and my family."
His agent Adrian Ruocco confirmed: "Carlos wants to go to Europe."
Ferguson may hold the upper hand in the race to sign the World Cup star, given he has already admitted he supports the club and once turned up to a Corinthians press conference wearing a Manchester United strip.
