Manchester United chief David Gill says everything is in place to sign Carlos Tevez to a long-term deal.

The Argentine striker is on loan at United for two seasons and Gill said: "Everything is in place for Carlos and Manchester United to agree a long-term deal and we are very comfortable with the arrangement.

"We are looking at it very positively with a view that he will be the player he can be for Manchester United and that it will be an easy decision to exercise our option.

"That is our goal. We are not looking at two years, we are looking at a long-term arrangement."
