Carlos Tevez has cast further doubt on his Manchester United career by claiming that he feels ‘demoralised’ and ‘unwanted’ at United – as Sir Alex Ferguson continues to play Berbatov and Rooney has his first choice strikers.
Carlos Tevez has only hit the back of the net three times this season in the Premier League so far – however many of his appearances have come as a substitute. Tevez does have thirteen goals and six assists in all competitions – but has looked unhappy in a number of appearances for United this season. The Argentinian forward helped United recover from 2-0 down at home to Spurs to win 5-2 and was rewarded with a starting role against Arsenal in the Champions League.
Tevez was quoted in a national newspaper “Now it’s time for me to think about my future. It’s not as if I feel I have walked out of Manchester United or done something wrong. I have done everything I possibly could at Manchester but they have not offered me a contract. I have a great relationship with the fans and I think that everyone will understand that wherever I go I give 100 per cent – at United, like I did at West Ham, at Corinthians, at Boca. I am leaving because the circumstances have created a situation forcing me to leave. I want to be very clear. In the two years I have been at Manchester United I have read that I have asked for ‘£6 million, £9 million, £12 million, £1 million, £2 million’. But I have never, ever asked [chief executive] David Gill or Alex Ferguson – nor have I had any meeting with anyone about my contract – for money. Therefore when I sign for another club if anyone says ‘it was impossible for Carlos to sign for Man United because he was asking for too much money’ then it is not true. I know that maybe after, when I leave, people will say ‘he left for money’ but listen, no. Be very clear that there has not been one single meeting about my personal contract. And now it’s over.”
