Man Utd, AC Milan threaten Man City plans for Funes Mori

Manchester City want to replace Carlos Tevez with another Argentine.

The Daily Mail says City's hopes of replacing Tevez with a talented teen expected to follow in the Argentine's footsteps could be scuppered by AC Milan.

Both City and Manchester United have watched 19-year-old Rogelio Funes Mori, but Milan are looking to get in first with a double deal for the striker and his River Plate team-mate Erik Lamela.

Funes Mori, a year older than midfielder Lamela, is keen to make the switch to Europe but would not come cheap.

He has previously been offered a trial at Chelsea and in 2008 won a US reality TV show to earn a contract with FC Dallas before being snapped up by River Plate, where he has enjoyed a breakthrough season.
