London  - Carlos Tevez is unlikely to discover whether he will remain a Manchester United player until the summer, he told an Argentine radio station on Wednesday.

The Argentina forward is on a two-year loan to United from West Ham.

United have first-refusal to sign him when that expires in June.

Tevez is keen to stay, but will have to wait on his future.

"I have the headstart in Manchester and my idea is to stay here for a few more years," Tevez told Radio del Plata.

"It would be very difficult to have to leave one of the biggest clubs in the world.

"I spoke with the president of the club, but nothing is signed yet. We are now waiting until June and we will see what happens." dpa
