The agent of Manchester United star Carlos Tevez, Kia Joorabchian, insists there is no problem between his client and Reds boss and Sir Alex Ferguson. The Argentine striker, who has not been able to hold down a regular starting place this term, has yet to agree a permanent contract with Manchester United.

Asked if there was an issue between Tevez and Ferguson, Joorabchian told Ole: "No. Tevez just wanted to clarify that he hadn't received an offer. Everything's fine.

"He gets on very well with Ferguson. Everything started with a lie written by an English journalist who wrote that Ferguson had said they made an offer.

"The truth is there are no problems and he's going to carry on playing for Manchester United until the end of the season."
