Although the final paperwork on Tevez's Red Devils contract has yet to be completed, the Argentina star has already passed his United medical and trained with his new team-mates.

And, while he will miss out on Sunday's Community Shield showdown with Chelsea, the 23-year-old is pencilled in for an appearance at one of United's simultaneous midweek friendlies. "We have a couple of games on Wednesday and Carlos will be involved in one of those," said Ferguson.

He added: "He trained with us yesterday morning and he was very enthusiastic, so he will have another session today."

Providing Tevez suffers no adverse reaction to his debut, he should be involved when United open their Premier League title defence against Reading on August 12, his first appearance at Old Trafford since scoring the goal on the final day of last season which kept West Ham up.

The two-year loan deal is likely to cost United around £5million a year and a statement from Tevez's representatives said: "Carlos is looking forward to being a Manchester United player and his ambition is close to being achieved.

"We would like to thank Manchester United for all their patience and support throughout."
