he 25-year-old's contract expires at the end of this season and up to now the reigning European champions have done nothing to indicate they will make Tevez a permanent fixture at the club.

Tevez himself recently confessed that his time at United was coming to an end - prompting a number of Europe's best clubs to take note of his availability.

According to the Star, Italian giants Milan are prepared to spend £40 million on securing the Argentine's services, based on a £20m transfer fee and a £20m, four-year deal.

Rumours linking Tevez with the Rossoneri were further fuelled at the weekend when his advisor Kia Joorabchian was seen in the San Siro's directors box watching Milan's match against Juventus - just hours after he was pictured at Old Trafford watching the Manchester derby.

Another hypothesis concerning Tevez's future is that a move to Liverpool would suit.

His comments at the weekend suggested that remaining at a Premier League club was high on his agenda in order that he causes as little disruption to his family as possible.
The Sun claims that Anfield officials have already contacted Joorabchian to "register their interest", but the reports remain largely unsubstantiated.
Tevez is certainly not facing a lack of options away from Old Trafford. Aside from the aforementioned clubs he has also been linked with Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Tottenham and Everton.
Amid the uncertainty surrounding his future, Tevez's team-mates have heaped praise on him of late. Following his sensational strike against Manchester City at the weekend - which gave United the cushion they required - Patrice Evra said: "Carlos is a world-class player and he showed his quality again.
"Carlito is a good professional. But when he plays he respects the shirt of United."
In the hope that something will be done to resolve matters, Evra added: "Carlos works his socks off. He scored a great goal and he is a very popular player in the dressing room.
"The rest is up to the people upstairs."

How is the team feeling right now?

Losing against Switzerland definitely hurt us. We had been on a long winning streak and all of a sudden came an unexpected loss. That loss made us much stronger. We were anxious because we knew that if we failed again we’d be out of the competition. We were worried that we’d be the biggest failure of the World Cup. But the team knew how to overcome that problem and from here on out you’ll see the best Spain.

Cruyff and Luis Aragones criticize the team for playing with a double defensive pivot…

In football, when you don’t win everybody debates and when you win nobody complains… The coach is looking for more security. The offensive talent is the same but we are following in the steps of other great national teams that look to be a little more defensively sound while not forgetting about our other qualities. Our football is based on talent and the system we play gives us security.

Do you understand why some people blamed Busquets after the game against Switzerland?

‘Busi’ gives us equilibrium and he’s one of the best players in the world in his position. I won’t say that this World Cup made him mature more because he was already mature. He’s always well positioned, it’s amazing. But as you already know, when you win everything is great.

Do you think Xavi is playing out of position?

No, he’s played further up on the pitch many times before. It’s true that now he doesn’t touch the ball as much but he’s especially dangerous being so close to goal. He can give that final, lethal pass or score himself. Xavi is doing just fine.

Did Iniesta liberate himself with that goal?

He’s had a tough season. He’s suffered, like anyone who gets injured, but Andres is one of the best players in the world and he’s now feeling better.

Villa has already scored three goals…

Villa helps the national team in the same way that he’ll help Barca: goals and compromise. He plays with confidence and desire, he’s competitive and he has that special instinct for scoring goals. He’s also smart and makes things look easy on the pitch.

Portugal or Cristiano Ronaldo?

The rival is Portugal, a very compact team that has one of the best players in the world. But we’ll definitely stick to our style of play.

What do you think of Messi’s performances?

Incredible! They’ve hurt Messi a lot. He’s a player that’s always committed to his team and they constantly doubted him. I don’t understand how someone could doubt Leo, it’s amazing. He’s leading a great Argentina and I’m happy for him.

“That’s where I play best, that’s how I was formed. In every age group at youth level, I often played through the middle. I’ve been playing out wide for two years with Arsenal but feel more at ease in the centre of the pitch.”

These words were recently uttered by the only person on the Arsenal squad that could be as strong as Cesc Fabregas in the center of midfield.  Yes, there is Jack Wilshere (too young right now), Tomas Rosicky (not the same after that long-standing injury), and Andrei Arshavin (dangerous, but inconsistent). With Cesc Fabregas all but certain to reach his dream of playing in a Barcelona jersey next season, Arsene Wenger’s choice really isn’t one at all.  He has to pick Samir Nasri.

When Samir Nasri was purchased in the summer of 2008 by the Gunners to take over for Barcelona bound Alexander Hleb, he had already proved himself to be a superstar in France.  Coming off of a season with Ligue 1 side Marseille where he scored seven goals and had 14 assists in all competitions as well as walking away with Ligue 1’s Young Player of the Year award in the previous campaign, Nasri had drawn comparisons to the great Zidane as a scintillating playmaker with a gift for the precise pass.  Debuting against West Bromwich Albion that August, he made an instant impression by scoring the only goal just four minutes into the match.  The 2008-2009 season would have Nasri finish with seven goals and six assists as a winger.  Although he missed out on a large part of the 2009-2010 season with a broken leg, Nasri was still able to make an impact with his club upon his return.  His five goals (three of those in the Champions League) and four assists showed that he could be an asset.

So far this season, Nasri has been playing to his strong potential.  A brace against West Bromwich as well as two penalty conversions against Tottenham in a Carling Cup match have shown his ability to turn a game around.   His performance against Romania over the weekend in Euro 2012 qualifying was excellent as he was the orchestrator of many of Les Bleu’s scoring chances.  While Cesc will retain his position when he comes back from injury, there is no mistaking that Nasri has shown himself worthy to be the stalwart in the midfield for Arsenal.  Next season, there will be a new player in Cesc’s position, like it or not.  Hopefully, it will be number 8.
