    <div class="mxb"> <div class="sh"><font size="3"> Man Utd set to wrap up Tevez deal</font></div><div class="sh"></div> </div> <font size="2"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="203" align="right"> <tbody><tr><td> <div> [​IMG] <div class="cap">Tevez (right) could soon line up with Patrice Evra for Man Utd</div> </div> </td></tr> </tbody></table> Manchester United are hoping to complete the signing of striker Carlos Tevez in the next 24 hours. </font>

    <font size="2">Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian has now paid West Ham a &pound;2m settlement, meaning the 23-year-old has been formally released from his contract. </font></p>

    <font size="2">United have put forward their proposed two-year loan deal for the Argentina striker to the Premier League. </font></p>

    <font size="2">The League's lawyers are now looking through the details of the signing before rubber-stamping the deal. </font></p>

    <font size="2">However, the League approved a similar deal allowing Javier Mascherano to join Liverpool, so there are not expected to be any further hold-ups with Tevez's move. </font></p>

    <font size="2">The champions kick off their league campaign against Reading at Old Trafford on Sunday. </font></p>

    <font size="2">Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said on Tuesday that the Tevez saga had been "unbelievable". </font></p>

    <font size="2"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="2" height="12" align="right"> <tbody><tr> <td width="5">[​IMG]</td> <td class="sib606"></td> </tr> </tbody></table> </font></p>

    <font size="2">"What made this an unbelievable story was an unbelievable series of events," he told BBC Radio Five Live. </font></p>

    <font size="2">"West Ham were all-but relegated at Christmas and then Tevez scored a few goals right at the end of the season and they were able to escape. </font></p>

    <font size="2">"It's unscripted drama and one of the things that makes football so interesting but in other ways it looks like a road crash in how some of the events appear." </font></p>

    <font size="2">Last week's agreement between West Ham and Joorabchian ended the threat of High Court action. </font></p>

    <font size="2">The proposed transfer had stalled over who would be paid the transfer fee. </font></p>

    <font size="2">The Premier League and West Ham said the Hammers should receive the fee but companies MSI and Just Sports Inc, which belong to Joorabchian, said they owned the striker's economic rights. </font></p>
