London  - Kia Joorabchian, advisor to Carlos Tevez, does not believe the forward will remain at Manchester United next season, according to press reports on Friday.

Tevez's two-year loan deal with United expires in the summer, and although the Argentina international has stressed his desire to stay, it seems increasingly unlikely that United will be prepared to pay for him to make his move permanent.

Joorabchian confirmed that the player's third-party owners are considering other options.

"Carlos is in the market now that United have not made any move for him," he told the Daily Star.

"We are now studying other options and interested parties. There is no option left with United any longer." (dpa)
