Carlos Tevez is determined to stay with Manchester United.

The Sun says the Argentine plans to make full use of the six months he has left on his current contract to save his Old Trafford career.

United insist they want to sign the £30million-rated former West Ham striker on a permanent basis before the summer.

But he has found opportunities limited this term with the arrival of Dimitar Berbatov.

Real Madrid could move for Tevez after Ruud van Nistelrooy was ruled out for the season with a knee injury.

But sources close to Tevez say the terms of his loan deal indicate he could only leave if the champions allowed it.

And the Argie is focused entirely on winning his battle to stay at Old Trafford.
