The Argentinean signed on a two-year loan deal last summer due to the complicated nature of his ownership situation with Kia Joorabchian and United officials are now investigating the best way to seal a full transfer.

"I would certainly love to extend my contract," said the 24-year-old. "I would go and sign right now if the opportunity was there."

It is hardly a surprise that Tevez, like most South Americans - and Portuguese for that matter - would one day like to experience life in Spain.

But he is unequivocal about his desire to remain with United and win trophies under Ferguson.

"La Liga is a possibility eventually but that day is a long way off," he said.

"I know a lot of South Americans prefer to play in Italy or Spain when they move to Europe but I am really pleased that I came here.

"This is the best league in the world and I am among some of the best footballers in the world. I am not one to be making comparisons between clubs but Manchester United are right up there with anyone in the world.

"When there were problems last summer, everyone assured me it would reach a positive conclusion and I am glad it did.

"From day one, everyone has treated me well and made me feel right at home. The fans at Manchester United even shout 'Argentina'. That is why I am so happy here."
