Carlos Tevez will only stay at Manchester United if he is made the club's highest paid, it has been revealed. The Sun says the Red Devils have agreed the £26million asking price to make the Argie striker's loan move permanent.

But they have still to match the personal terms of £110,000 a week that stars Rio Ferdinand and Dimitar Berbatov earn.

Tevez, 25, has been on £95,000 a week since joining Alex Ferguson's side but his loan ends at the end of this month.

He is on holiday in Buenos Aires where he has also been contacted directly by new Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Moneybags Manchester City are also interested in grabbing the hitman as boss Mark Hughes bids to build a team capable of giving the Premier League's Big Four a bloody nose.
