The Premier League champions on Friday confirmed the 23-year-old Argentina forward had joined on a two-year loan.

Despite delays in completing the deal, Ferguson was happy for the Premier League to be extremely thorough, saying: "It is completely understandable the Premier League want to scrutinise every detail. I am happy with that because then we know we are getting a player in the right circumstances, with everything clarified and cleared by the appropriate authorities."

Tevez, who has been the subject of a long running Premier League investigation into third-party ownership, has been training with United all week.

However, he is extremely unlikely to be involved in United's opening game of the season against Reading on Sunday, instead being pencilled in by Sir Alex Ferguson for next weekend's derby clash at Manchester City.

Ferguson added: "We know he is our player but even if it was all done (on Friday), I wouldn't use him on Sunday. It would more likely be against Manchester City next weekend."

Tevez will wear the number 32 shirt at Old Trafford - the same he wore at West Ham.
