Manchester United are set to have a clear run at Corinthians ace Carlos Tevez.

The Mirror says hitman Tevez is demanding a move after falling out with new Corinthians coach and former Brazil goalkeeper Emerson Leao.
The South American striker, 22, has made it clear he wants to come to Europe, with United and Bayern Munich favourites to sign the forward as Chelsea are not interested in a bidding war for the £25 million-rated front-man.
Tevez, stripped of the Corinthians captaincy by Leao as he does not speak Portuguese, demanded a transfer after the weekend win over Botafogo.
The 22-year-old striker announced: "This may have been my last game in the Corinthians shirt.
"I would like to stay but I have to think about what is better for me and my family."
His agent Adrian Ruocco confirmed: "Carlos wants to go to Europe."
When Corinthians signed Tevez in 2004, he attended a press conference wearing a United shirt and has never hidden interest in playing for the Red Devils.
