Former United stars David May and Dwight Yorke believe the Reds would be unstoppable if Sir Alex can land Carlos Tevez.
The Argentina international, currently representing his country in the Copa America tournament, has been linked strongly with United this week. The 23-year-old scored for West Ham at Old Trafford on the final day of the 2006/07 campaign and ex-Red May believes it could be the first of many in front of the Stretford End.
In fact, May thinks Tevez has what it takes to emulate one of United's biggest stars.
"I believe he has everything a player needs to become a cult figure at Old Trafford, just like Cantona," May told the Daily Star.
"Eric was the type of player who could change a game in a flash with one touch of sheer brilliance. He was also the kind of guy who, when the chips were down, would invariably rise to the occasion and produce. It seems to me that Tevez has that ability, too.
"What a mouth-watering thought… Carlos Tevez playing alongside Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo."
Dwight Yorke, now under Roy Keane's stewardship at Sunderland, weighed in with his opinions in The Sun.
"Tevez will love it at Old Trafford. He is a typical United player, full of flair and goals."
The Trinidad & Tobago striker also dismissed any doubts that South American players find life in the Premier League difficult.
"I was at United when they signed [Juan Sebastian] Veron and there is no doubt he was an exceptional player. It just did not work out for him.
"The difference with Tevez is we have already seen what he can do in this league and in a very difficult situation [with West Ham]. Now imagine what he can do playing with better players at United." |
