The Glazer family appear to have sent the summer spending spree past the £70 milllion mark, and it looks as if the West Ham striker - the Argentinian Carlos Tevez is on his way to Old Trafford! He's current playing in the American Cup for his country - you can see it live on Sky Sports.

Thursday's Manchester Evening News  reports that Carlos Tevez will sign for Manchester United next week in a deal expected to be worth around £20million.

The Reds are expected to announce that they have wrapped up a deal to bring the 23-year-old Argentina striker to Old Trafford. However there could be a challenge from West Ham United, who claim to own the player's registration after his season playing for them in the Premiership.

If the transfer goes through United will have spent over £70m mark after the signings of  Owen Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson. Tevez, known in Argentina as `Carlitos', has always claimed to be a United fan - he caused a storm while playing for Brazilian club Corinthians by turning up at a press conference wearing a Reds shirt.

United have been tracking Tevez, currently representing his country in the Copa America in Venezuela, since last summer, as exclusively revealed by M.E.N. Sport at the time.
