According to reports in England, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's desperation to hire a striker could see the club signing a loan deal for the former footballer.

With almost no time left in the winter transfer window, Manchester United is running out of options to replace Marcus Rashford, and after taking that under consideration, the team's hierarchy could be preparing a bold move to fill the Englishman's void.

According to the Daily Mail, Red Devils' execs have a number of options to fill in for their top scorer, and the name that stands out is none other than that of Carlos Tévez. The former Manchester United, West Ham and Manchester City player would reportedly have a second stint at Old Trafford on a six-month loan.

Reports coming in from within Tévez's inner circle reveal that there has not been any contact between Manchester United or the player, but a return would not be far-fetched due to the nature of the deal.

Tévez played 99 games for the Red Devils between 2007 and 2009. He scored 34 goals for the club and won six titles with the English side, including a Premier League trophy and the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League.

While there has not been any official word by the club, Tévez's signing would be interesting to witness, considering that he did not leave the club on the best terms. Furthermore, his past as a Manchester City player could raise some eyebrows among the team's loyal supporters.
