"Manchester United is delighted to announce that Carlos Tevez has been registered as a member of its first-team squad by the Premier League," United said in a statement.

A Premier League spokesman confirmed the registration.

Last week West Ham released Tevez's registration following a deal with his agent Kia Joorabchian, who reached a two million pounds settlement with the London [Images] club to end a long transfer saga which centred on who owned the striker.
