Will the Kop be chanting Argentina, Argentina next season?

Although Real Madrid are favourites to sign Carlos Tevez if the Argentinian leaves Man Utd when his loan agreement comes to an end The Times reports this morning that Liverpool is interested in signing him too.  That would move the Benitez-Ferguson mind games to another level.

The top brass at Man Utd must now regret letting Torres sign for Liverpool.  Losing Tevez to our arch rivals would be harder still to swallow.

Meanwhile Carrick tells The Sun that he wants Tevez to stay at Old Trafford:

“We want him to stay, Carlos is a top player. He has scored some very important goals for us over the last few years. We’ve got a world-class squad, we’ve got world- class players and Carlos is one of them. We want to keep moving forward as a team and as a squad so we’d like to keep our best players here. But it’s down to the manager. I’m sure he knows the best way to make sure we do keep progressing.”

The call on Tevez represents one of Fergie's biggest ever decisions.

Ferguson launches fresh attack on "beyond the pale" Benitez

The Times reports the latest escalation in the war of words between Sir Alex Ferguson and Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez as a sign that the feud is getting "out of control".

The newspaper recorded Sir Alex's words (which you can watch below):

“There’s one thing with his [Benitez] arrogance that he showed that you can’t forgive and that is his contempt for Sam Allardyce last week when Liverpool scored their second goal,” Ferguson said. “Did you see it? It was absolute contempt. He went like that [Ferguson repeats the gesture] . . . game finished. I don’t think Sam Allardyce deserved that. A guy who has worked so hard for the LMA [the League Managers' Association], looking after young managers, he didn’t deserve that with a team that was weakened. I don’t think any other Liverpool manager would ever have done that. But he [Benitez] is beyond the pale.”
