Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has no doubts Carlos Tevez will sign permanently.
The Argentine went public this week with his frustration at slipping down the pecking order.
Tevez even hinted he may have to think about finding a new club next June, with Real Madrid and Manchester City waiting to pounce.
But Ferguson revealed talks on a permanent £30m move are well under way.
He said: "Am I confident he will be staying? Yeah, I am quite confident about that."
