Carlos Tevez first joined Manchester United in 2007 and went on to win two Premier League titles and a Champions League to boot.
The Argentinian joined from West Ham United, where his controversial arrival from Corinthians came under scrutiny.
The controversy surrounding Tevez's transfer to England was then added to by his move across the divide to rivals Manchester City in 2009.
Tevez is now enjoying his third spell at his boyhood club Boca Juniors in Argentina's capital of Buenos Aires.
However, his future has been cast into uncertainty as Boca's new Presidential leadership are reportedly headed in a different direction.
The Red Devils are understood to be concerned by the lack of options in the notoriously difficult January transfer window.
'Carlitos', as Tevez is affectionately nicknamed by Boca fans, appears to fit the bill.
It's believed that United would only have to pay a negligible fee for the veteran striker, who turns 36 in February.
