Carlos Tevez's proposed move to Manchester United remains in limbo with serious doubts over whether a planned medical will take place today.
Talks between United and West Ham ended in stalemate last night with no agreement reached over the 23-year-old Argentina striker, who flew into Manchester yesterday with the intention of undergoing a medical this morning.
A delegation led by West Ham chairman Eggert Magnusson met a team led by United lawyer Maurice Watkins at the Premier League's offices in London.
One club cannot give a player a medical unless his current club agrees and West Ham will not give formal permission for a medical until they have received an offer and accepted it.
West Ham remain adamant that they hold Tevez's registration, that he is contracted to them for another three years and that they have unilaterally terminated all third-party agreements with Tevez's representative Kia Joorabchian.
Joorabchian maintains that his company Media Sports Investments (MSI) own the economic rights to the player, and that they have already agreed personal terms with Manchester United.
