Kia Joorabchian, the agent who represents Carlos Tevez, has confirmed the player will fly back from the Copa America in Venezuela next Tuesday to undergo a medical at Manchester United.
Joorabchian, who was yesterday issued with an arrest warrant from a federal judge in Brazil in relation to his business dealings with Media Sports Investments (MIA), told Sky Sports News: “Carlos is going to come on Tuesday to do a medical on Wednesday at Manchester United. Hopefully we’ll get all the administrative issues sorted next week and I hope everything will be okay, we don’t foresee any problems.
“We spoke to Manchester United tonight (Thursday), they are quite confident we can have him registered by next week.”
According to his agent, Tevez will leave West Ham United with fond memories, after his run of form at the end of last season helped propel the club out of relegation and retain their Premiership stautus. “Carlos is a little bit sad because, in terms of West Ham, he felt very attached to the club last year,” he said.
“He loved his time there and it was kind of mutually agreed he would be there for a year and he was there for a year. He served his year.”

Joorabchian is confident all the necessary paper work will be completed in good time for the Argentinian to start the new season with the Premiership champions.
Tevez, meanwhile, is said to be keen to finalise the deal and focus on playing. “He’s a sportsman, he doesn’t really understand all the administrative bits and pieces, but he knows he’s not in any way fighting with West Ham or demanding anything,” said Joorabchian.
