Man Utd ‘plotting incredible loan transfer to bring back Carlos Tevez, 35, in January window’

MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly lining up a sensational move to bring Carlos Tevez back to Old Trafford - 11 years after he ditched the club for rivals Man City.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Red Devils are in desperate need of a forward and are considering their options in the market.
With Marcus Rashford set to be out for months with a back injury, Solskjaer currently only has Anthony Martial and 18-year-old Mason Greenwood to call upon upfront.
But Tevez could be the man to rescue his former club.
The Argentine, now 35, is currently in his third stint with Boca Juniors.
He is out of favour, however, and with his contract expiring in June - Boca are willing to loan him out for the remainder of his - with claiming that United are interested.
Tevez was an incredibly popular figure at Old Trafford between 2007 and 2009, scoring 34 goals in two seasons as he helped his side to Premier League and Champions League glory.
But when the time came to make his complex move to United permanent for £25million in 2009, he opted to betray Sir Alex Ferguson's men.

Despite having a lucrative five-year contract on the table at Ole Trafford, Tevez decided to sign for local rivals Manchester City in a move that shook football in the North West to the core.
Upon his arrival, the infamous "Welcome to Manchester" sign was unveiled in the city centre by the Citizens, to rub salt into their fuming rivals' wounds.
Often a controversial figure, he helped the Sky Blues transform into the trophy winning machine that they are today - winning the league title and the FA Cup during his time at the Etihad.
