The on-loan striker is angry at being left on the bench for long periods and claims United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hasn't tried to sign him permanently.
Click here to read the full explosive interview with Carlos Tevez
Tevez's shock bombshell will alert Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton and Aston Villa - while Iranian businessman Kia Joorabchian's company, which owns the player, has also received a £45million offer from a foreign club.
In an exclusive interview, Tevez, 25, declares: "I am very sad about this but I guess what I'm saying is goodbye.
"I don't think I will be a Manchester United player next season. I have done everything I possibly can but they have never made me an offer so I have to leave. I think I will be at another club next season."
But the Argentinian insists he wants to stay here. He said: "I want to play in England because it is the best league in the world and it suits my style."

I'm a united fan and dissapointed, carlos tevez has been in england 3 years and my 3 year old can put together words in english better than tevez, how do you build team harmony with someone who you cannot have a conversation with?
Let him go, where was he in the fA cup semi? he played more than 90 mins!
He may be a good player but not worth 30 million, more like 15 million. He has had his time, in my eyes he's another diego forlan!
I would prefer Martins or Drogba or Benzema, come on fergie, come on united, leave tevez out of cl final.
By Tony Stanton.. Posted May 16 2009 at 11:40 PM.
Berbatov is lazy and over priced, keep Tevez!
By Craig Magee.. Posted May 13 2009 at 9:30 AM.
maybe he´ll win another tittle with another team ... again

By cameron gill.. Posted May 12 2009 at 9:13 PM.
I hope fergie sees sense and buys Tevez. I have seen alot of United this season and carlos has shone. Please Sir Alex Sign him up.
Carlos if you do sadly leave dont go to the pool. United for life!
By scott.. Posted May 12 2009 at 6:17 PM.
People who speak wrong about Carlos Tevez know very little or nothing about football. Tevez, dribbles,scores, plays for the team, does not stop going.He´s a number one in the world. Ferguson you and all the dumb heads that critizice Tevez, will suffer his goals when he plays for another team.
So long suckers!!!!!
By CLAUDIO.. Posted May 12 2009 at 5:59 PM.
i'm a chelsea fan and would love to see Tevez play along side Anelka next year for us
By john.. Posted May 12 2009 at 4:13 PM.
Tevez is good. better than Keane, van Nistelrooij or Beckham? No. He has had his better days but remember hthere were times when he has played full games without scoring. Tevez doesn't seem to like being substituted especially for Berba even when some of his goals have come from the lad previously. If he choses to go, let him close the door behind him and have his way. Utd did not stop winnin trophies coz Ruud boy left; in fact SAF did not sign a striker that time, and the rest of the team scored goal (including Sylvestre). Fare thee well CARLITO.
By Rene, Kenya.. Posted May 12 2009 at 11:32 AM.
we need you tevez.you are the best professional football player in the world.i don't know why ferguson don't need you.berb is not suit for united.He lack of spirits and feel lazy.when you in this club you are the champions.it's a bad news for asian united fan.
By teddy thailand.. Posted May 12 2009 at 8:07 AM.
haha Teves better than Berbatov?!...the rabbit also runs,but he is not a football player!:-) Berba i class,Teves - a road runner! SAF must sign Benzema - he's far better than Teves!
By theNiksan.. Posted May 12 2009 at 6:24 AM.
Tevez is the best player who puts you at manchester, looking all the fights and all in the lawn. There Sir. Fer not let it go. It is a player who can play 90 minutes and appreciate their good football.
By Frodofilo.. Posted May 11 2009 at 7:04 PM.
I think Sir Alex has no idea of the potential Carlos has, he did great things for argentina, he has the most guts i've seen in a player ever, he will go after every ball, and fight every ball as if it was the last one he will ever play, players like that are what make football so nice to watch, he should stay and given the chance. There is no comparison to Bervatov, Carlos is 100 times better, no doubt. Just the fact that as an argentinian player, he was named player of the year in Brazil, says everything, as you all know the rivalry in soccer between argentina and brazil is enormous, and Carlos was the first argentinian player to get that recognition there. Need to say more? Fergie give Carlos a real chance to prove he is a great asset for United.
By gabriel.. Posted May 11 2009 at 6:55 PM.
We shouldn't criticize Dimitar so much. He is not bad. He still is a world class striker although his performance does not meet our expectation. As to Carlos, he deserves to be offered a new deal due to what he has performed. Stay with us, Carlos! United is No1!
By Tungbengvn.. Posted May 11 2009 at 6:09 PM.
tevez's a good player, he don't must leave of the mancheter united team,COME ON ! Berbatov'S BAD !!! DON'T GO TEVEZ !!! DON'T GO
By emily.. Posted May 11 2009 at 5:28 PM.
Carlitos is 10 times better than Berbatov and PArk,and deserves an opportunity. He won championships playing for Boca Juniors, Corinthias, Manchester Utd and saved Westham.
By Osoramallo.. Posted May 11 2009 at 4:23 PM.
tevez will never leave united, he just said all those things so that the deal can go on, fergie clearly want him and he wants to stay, price is the problem, we will buy him when we retain our tittle and he knows that,
And remember there is an investigation going on abt tevez transfer deal with Westham, man united wont rush to buy him till everything is clear
By mnyama.. Posted May 11 2009 at 3:30 PM.
TEVEZ IS A GREAT PLAYER WITH LOTS OF POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
I LIKE TO SEE TEVEZ PLAY WITH ROBINHO & ELANO. JUST IMAGINE ROBINHO FROM THE LEFT, TEVEZ UP-FRONT INSTEAD OF CAICEDO, WRITH-PHILIPS ON THE RIGHT AND ELANO PLAYING BEHIND THEM.
WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE TVZ TO COMPLIMENT THE GOOD EFFORTS OF THE BRAZILIANS.
THEN CITY WILL BE A UCL MATERIAL NEXT SEASON.
IF MAKR HUGHES KNOWS HIS ONIONS HE SHOULD START ASKING FOR TEVEZ NOW.
UP ROBINHO! UP ELANO!
UP MANCHESTER CITY!!
By Loveday, Nigeria.. Posted May 11 2009 at 3:18 PM.
Tevez is a world class hero! Sir Alex should reconsider firing Berbatov instead of Carlos.
Berbatov should be cutting grass for living...
By Santiago.. Posted May 11 2009 at 2:46 PM.
Tevez come to liverpool atleast here you will be loved tevez and torres with gerrard playing just behind what a partniship I HATE MAN U!!!
By Jack.W.. Posted May 11 2009 at 12:20 PM.
Carlos played all matches he appeared with the highest spirit and he always inspire others to win. I think Carlos deserves to be treated better. Why Carlos has to leave while Dimitar, a very lazy striker still stay at Old Trafford?
By Gary.. Posted May 11 2009 at 10:53 AM.
i think we should buy tevez and sell berbatov,tevez is a world class player and he proved it against city on the weekend berbatov is so lazy a baby could do better up front then him. UNITED ALL THE WAY
By David Jones.. Posted May 11 2009 at 9:35 AM.
Tevez and Torres, just a matter of time now!
By LFCownsU.. Posted May 11 2009 at 8:42 AM.
Tevez, will be in stamford bridge
By Michael.. Posted May 11 2009 at 8:40 AM.
When Fergie signed Berbatov he unsettled the wholy trinity at United in Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez. They were all phenominal for United last season.
Will Berbatosser be the leading man for United next season with his lazy attitude towards football and ridiculous penalty taking?
Think about it, Tevez is the key to United defending from the front, and putting pressure on opposition, and scoring 20+ goals each season.
We'll take Tevez off United's hands in a swap deal for Adebayor though...
By The Unknown.. Posted May 11 2009 at 7:49 AM.
It is a matter of price.....transfer fees and weekly wages. Undoubtedly, he is good but he is indispensable. Carlos may be asking for too much...at this economic climate.
By hongkong guy.. Posted May 11 2009 at 6:42 AM.
At least in the match on Sunday Carlos had contact with the ball, I did not notice was Berbatov
playing or was he just taking up space on the field.
Come on Sir Alex wake up and see the game Berbatov is asleep most of the time, how many times in the last match did he have contact with the ball. Keep Carlos and give Berbatov away free as that is his worth to the club.
By David from Thailand.. Posted May 11 2009 at 4:01 AM.
Tevez wont leave for another prem club especially liverpool or chelsea. He needs to accept that we will rotate the sqaud. If he leaves it will be sad but we can replace him with another striker but different style to Tevez.

if tevez isnt wanted by united, he can always play for my team GILLINGHAM
By terence loveday.. Posted May 10 2009 at 10:53 PM.
I really want Tevez to stay but no one,i repeat no one tells Sir Alex what to do.End of.
By brian.. Posted May 10 2009 at 9:26 PM.
It will be nice to bid farewell to Carlos..obviously he is one of the best player in the world, as far as work rate on the pitch is concerned,but fellas Man U supporters,think again before you bark,do we really need a player who can't pass the ball,a player who always aimed to score no matter how hard it is instead of passing or make a clear chance for teammates..he is too selfish when it comes to chances..besides his finishing move is too weak and poor..please dont compare him wit the cool,confident and skillful Berba,who's gonna be the next Zizou..and stop urging Fergie,let him decide..in a way that we can write a new chapter in world's football history..United forver!
By Lailai.. Posted May 10 2009 at 9:38 PM.
Rafa go and buy the likes of tevez,glen johnson. David silva,aaron lennon and barry!! Get these players and we will win the leauge come next may.
By Trushar Patel.. Posted May 10 2009 at 9:06 PM.
I would like to see Tevez at Arsenal alongside Theo Walcott, at least he would feel most wanted there,

Whats the use of going shopping for more players if u can't utilise the ones u got............
By ed ntini.. Posted May 10 2009 at 6:30 PM.
Keeping Berbatov the turtle instead Tevez the hard worker. Fergie it is not your best move as a manager Please don't sign Karim overrated Benzema he will not be a hard worker striker like Rooney and Tevez just attacking and not coming back to defend
By Eric Fillion.. Posted May 10 2009 at 6:22 PM.
United is like our child and we want the players who love the club not mind thair weeks monoys,,we heard him says like to playing at madrid one day better we knew it first more then united come to sufer like how he ronaldo did, thus why we Alex scared to make deal...
By said.. Posted May 10 2009 at 6:10 PM.
Ill be gutted if Carlos leaves, i cant get my head round why we havnt sorted the deal out yet. He might not score loads but he gets a few important ones and United have very rarely been a one man scoring team, we have always spread the goals out, even when van nistleroy was banging them in, the rest of the team always got their fair share. Fergie get him signed.........please!
By chris cope.. Posted May 10 2009 at 5:37 PM.
yeah rob you're spot on, we do play better when tevez starts over berbatov, like when we hammered liverpool 4-1 last month, that was good wasn't it? Oh, wait, silly me, we lost 1-4. Tevez is a great player but a different option to him is needed, maybe it isn't berbatov but if the 45million rumour is true, in addition to a loan fee that means tevez will have cost united 55million. The player openly admits he wants to rejoin boca in his prime so that means he'd probably walk on a free after his next contract so united will recover no money from him. I love him as a united player but 45million pounds? no thanks, rather somebody who'll run in behind for less money and will be happy playing 2nd fiddle to rooney and berbatov (another solskjaer). But please got not that over rated poser benzema, he will never be fit to be mentioned in the same breath as thierry henry.
By wolff.. Posted May 10 2009 at 5:15 PM.
No Bradley,I think your memory is fading so allow me to refresh it for you.It took United four years to regain the Premiership title after Beckham left.And getting rid of Yap Staam was not one of Fergies better ideas either!
By Rita Cocking.. Posted May 10 2009 at 3:24 PM.
Personally as a United fan, I feel the way Tevez is behaving is going to cause problems, look at the way ronaldo reacted today that all stemmed from tevezs big ear celebration to the boss. Get rid of him, if tevez really cared about united he would have released the interview after the CL final. Other United fans show him too much support just because he puts effort in, what about fletch, carrick, evra etc much more deserving of support. If tevez is willing to play for city or liverpool than he has no loyalty to united, look at damien duff, never played for united but supported them and out of his love for united chose to go to newcastle instead of liverpool.
Tevez=waste of money
Fergie buy benzema or drogba.
By Tony Stanton.. Posted May 10 2009 at 3:47 PM.
In my opinion SAF buys certain players not only to strenghen his squard,but also to weaken the opposing teams Fulham went to Old Trafford to beat Man U.Immediately after that defeat,they decided to sign Louis Saha ( who was a threat to Man U's defence) Insead of playing Saha, he kept him on the bench.West Ham also repeated Fulham's example, and this time the key player was Tevez.SAF did not hesitate to buy him. This strategy works well for him.
By ME Annan.. Posted May 10 2009 at 3:09 PM.
All the talk of tevez being useless and the odd few who prefer Berbatov, all you have to ask yourself is when did Ronaldo start indicating unless the ball is played to his feet he won't run for it - I think that all started when berbatov arrived. the impression I get is they are fighting for top dog status "If Berba doesn't have to run for it, then I'm not!" and you guys say SAF is in charge - He's doing a great job of showing it.
I'm a Liverpool fan and I ain't fussed either way as to whether he comes to Anfield or not, but if he does, he'll give Torres invaluable cover!
By Paul Wragsdale.. Posted May 10 2009 at 2:00 PM.
lol to every1 that said man united cant afford the 30m tevez....
Well, Man united paid 10m to tevez's owner when he first arrived at old trafford i think or was it before his 2nd season, but anyways wat im trying to say is, Fergie just need to pay the remaining 20m to keep him.. all the other clubs will have to buy him for 30m +.. but is not fergie's decision to set the price.. its tevez's owner.
By I R BABOOn.. Posted May 10 2009 at 1:07 PM.
Just maybe its that Man u cant afford him and cant afford having him around coz tevez is like rooney only rooney scores more goals and is also a hard worker. Mind you man u's liabilities are soaring so just maybe the board is cautious on having expensive bench warmers. Wouldnt want to have man u go GM... do we!

By RAUL.. Posted May 10 2009 at 12:46 PM.
Beats me why SAF still refuses to definitely acknowledge Tevez as a Man Utd player. He wears his socks off and runs himself into the ground whenever he's on the pitch. I would rather have him than the lazy Berbatov!
By Val.. Posted May 10 2009 at 12:44 PM.
Return to your real home and real family at West Ham carlos, we still love ya and we still respect the incredible talent you are.
By Kristian Summerfiels.. Posted May 10 2009 at 12:38 PM.
Remember the Tottenham match, the first half, You were 2-0 down, Tevez came on at half time, 6-2?
No worries, hopefully he will move to liverpool.
By Josh.. Posted May 10 2009 at 12:38 PM.
I think the biggest issue beneath the surface of all this is that if Tevez wants his career to be more stable he needs a different management system to own and/or represent him.
If he wants to stay at United, and if United want him to stay, then it would seem likely something could be worked out ok with a different agent who wasn't spending more time touting the player around the rest of the world than talking to United in the last few months.
By andy.. Posted May 10 2009 at 12:03 PM.
I agree with Rob. I am very excited on the possibility of seeing Stev G, Torres and Tevez combining together and take on the rest of Prem leaque. These three are all match winners and technical players. They will match Bac's strike force. Hope this can come true just for the sake of good football.

By Fred.. Posted May 10 2009 at 12:02 PM.
alex, as much i love you and mufc would you PLEASE see some sense and sign thios lad up. Its gone beyond a joke, he is far more prolific than berbatov and is always a 110% committed. If you dont sign him you'll regret it as his most probable destination would be liverpool. A partnership of torres, tevez and gerrerd would lead to expansive high tempo football and may even lead to liverpool claiming their first title in many, many years.
The significance of tevez'z goals has been massive to the last 2 seasons of mufc. He not only saved the hammers from relegation but contributed with late goals against spurs, lyon and many more last season.
And if the inevitable that ronaldo leaves soon, then the era of this club dominating england, europe and even the world could long be a thing of the past.
Alan, concerned supporter, Ireland.
By alan boal.. Posted May 10 2009 at 12:25 PM.
Fact of the matter is, Man Utd perform far better when Tevez plays ahead of Berbatov. In fact, they play better when Park Ji Sung plays ahead of Berbatov. If SAF hadn't dropped such a clanger with the bone-idle Bulgarian, United might be able to afford him. It's Liverpool's title next season if they can stump up the cash.
By rob.. Posted May 10 2009 at 11:42 AM.
I am not a United fan but I love to watch Tevez playing. He is certainly a world class player, a midfielder in my opinion. Alex is smart in knowing that Rooney is a similar player but with better goal scoring ability than Tevez, he must believe that 30+ m does not worth the money on a hard worker. But I tell you Tevez will be a valuable addition to a lot of United's rivals, such as Liverpool or M City. I do hope Tevez leave United and go to somewhere his contribution would be more appreciated.
By Fred.. Posted May 10 2009 at 11:36 AM.
Fergie your a muppet!!!!!!! How can you let Tevez go, and keep that over rated over paid Berbatov and not let Tevez stay? Tevez is a way better striker than Berbatov!!!!!!! The way u r treating him isnt right. Tevez is a world class player and would fit into any team.

I THINK SHEFFIELD UTD SHOULD SIGN HIM, THEN WEST HAM CAN SUE THEM
By geoff.. Posted May 10 2009 at 11:16 AM.
You will find if a player plays regular the better they become so play him every week and he would score a lot more goals. Any way it`s not a one man game its what the team do that matters, one player scoring all the goals does not make him the best its the players around him as well.
By jimmy from stretford.. Posted May 10 2009 at 11:16 AM.
Those of you comparing tevez and berba's goal scoring record should be reminded, last year tevez scored 14, compared to berba's 9 this year. People say Tevez cant shoot...look at his goals against Blacburn in the carling cup and fulham in FA cup..Tell me the last time berba scored from outside the box...The fact is tevez has only scored 3 this season in PL cuz he gets 10-15 mins at the end of the game when united have already won the game so no the same urgency to score!
By alli.. Posted May 10 2009 at 11:18 AM.
I am a chelsea fan and i would welcome Tevez with open arms to stamford bridge, as for some of the comments left previously from some of the Manchester United fans i find this hilarious how can even one of you say that they would be happy to let tevez go it just goes to show how fickle Man U fans can be at times if i was a Man U fan i would want shot of Berbatov on the basis he is just plain lazy and shouldnt play in the top four teams in england because he just aint good enough, Ronaldo on the basis of he just dont want to be there and Nani on the basis of he is just down right awful in the same mould of Kalou at chelsea, but all in all i find it highly amusing Ferguson is risking two of the best players in the world in Ronaldo and Tevez leaving this summer.
By Tom Ireland.. Posted May 10 2009 at 11:00 AM.

By dan.. Posted May 10 2009 at 10:59 AM.
Why is anyone surprised that SAF is letting Tevez go?He has proved on numerous occasions that loyalty and hark work mean nothing to him and is too stubborn to admit that he has made a Veron sized mistake in signing Berbertov!
By Rita Cocking.. Posted May 10 2009 at 10:47 AM.
Im a man utd fan, I think Tevez has just cost himself a place in the team for final in rome. I think if this moan and complaining continues he mite not evan be in the squad in Rome so if i was him i would do what most people do and not to mess with Sir Alex as we all know there is only one winner, no one will tell Sir Alex who to buy and who not to buy. Ps i think if there is a chance we can get Benzema we should get him as he is much more of goal threat then Tevez is who has scored 3-4 prem goals this season which is not good is it? 32m??

By Simon.. Posted May 10 2009 at 10:38 AM.
I agree with a lot of things said on here today. I agree that Tevez is a hard worker and Berb can seem lazy but how many goals has Tevez scored? How many goals has Rooney scored? How many goals has Berb scored? The fact is Fergie is not going to pay 30+ million for a player who has scored less than Giggs and Scholes who have had much less playing time this season (in all competitions). Berbatov has seemed frustrating but he won our games against Stoke, Middlesborough in December, Bolton, 2 Tottenham games. Frustrating but gets goals and sets up as many. I would like Tevez to stay but he is not worth 30 million, Rooney was because he does the same that Tevz can BUT he scrores goals.
By Ian.. Posted May 10 2009 at 10:38 AM.
THIS IS FOR SIR ALEX, PLEASE SIGN TEVEZ, HE'S A GREAT PLAYER AND HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR THE CLUB IN THE PAST, HELPED WITH MANY GOALS NOT JUST SCORING THEM BUT HELPING SET THEM UP, HIM AND ROONEY ARE GREAT UP FRONT TOGETHER.
IT WOULD BE REALLY SORRY TO SEE HIM GO, AS HE IS LOVED BY THE PLAYERS AND FANS ALIKE,
SO PLEASE SIR ALEX KEEP TEVEZ WHAT A SHAME TO SEE ANOTHER TEAM BENEFIT FROM SUCH A GREAT FOOTBALLER. LET US KEEP HIM!!!!!
By man u fans.. Posted May 10 2009 at 10:37 AM.
I THINK TEVEZ WILL GO TO LIVERPOOL BECAUSE HE IS A CLASS PLAYER
By BERNICE.. Posted May 10 2009 at 10:15 AM.
UTD have not treated Tevez badly. lets be honest with the evaluation of the guy.. Yes he runs around and gives it his all, but clearly he is not the finished article and i dont think he will get much better. Tevez as UTD is clearly a squad player, if he doesnt like that, then let him go.
Why now bring up again that he may not sign, just do his job and sort this out after the champions league final.
Berbatov is a quality individual who brings something different to the UTD line up, in european football he has been essential in us, obtaining possesion. Yes, i would like to see him in the box more often, but he has had a in/out season in his first year. Lets just see what he does next season

By shadreck konyani.. Posted May 10 2009 at 9:43 AM.
All the comments are interesting, slow, uninterested as you say berba is, how many assists has he got in his first season? How many goals has he got in his first season? I wont be surprised that both are more than Tevez got in his first season. Tevez runs around like a headless chicken, it may get the fans happy but it does not win games. Who has got the worst first touch ever in united. Answer is Carlos Tevez. What is the point if you can run around and cant even keep the ball if it is played up to you. Tevez can stay in England but will never be a 25plus goal striker in any English team. Berba has been on the bench, rooney has been on the bench, giggs has been on the bench, scholes has been on the bench, yet all we here is tevez this tevez that.

By Sue.. Posted May 10 2009 at 9:04 AM.
Some Man Utd posters on this story seem to think Fergie has control of where Tevez goes but hes a loan player without a contract and if Liverpool want to sign him there will be no repeat of the heinze escapade when Fergie spat his dummy out and wouldnt sell him to the Scousers.
By Sean Lynch.. Posted May 10 2009 at 8:53 AM.

By steve.. Posted May 10 2009 at 8:49 AM.
Tevez is a class player, But for the 30million it would cost to buy him United should buy fellow Argentine Sergio Agüero from Atlético Madrid who at 21 is already a world class player and his having a fantastic season in La Liga.
By Carl.. Posted May 10 2009 at 9:00 AM.
Brian Ashford it is upto Tevez who he goes to and his owners and has stated he wants the Prem so if a top Prem club comes for him he will sign and ManU have no say in the matter at all, so if things go with money he maybe lining up for the rivals of City and if not then it could be Liverpool who are looking for a partner for Torres.

I like Tevez and i'm grateful for his professionalism and also for his skill and fighting aura he delivers whenever he's on the pitch but i feel we already got another magnificent fighter whom no doubt is better overall in Wayne Rooney so if i was Fergie i would sell Berba immediately as i knew ages ago that would been a flop he's too slow to fit in the high tempo created by United attack and Bringing in BENZEMA whom in my opinion can be top as Torres and Eto'o as Goalscorer if not better if this happen i doubt Tevez would like to stay as his chances will get lower to play. my future United attackers would be - ROONEY,BENZEMA, MACHEDA, WELBECK.LAJLIC( joining next january) i think will have enough fire power and with Benzema we could also try 4-5-1 formation like we used to in 2003 with RUUD(RVN)

Out of Tevez and Berbatov, who always tries to close the ball down, Tevez come to VILLA! you will be loved here

if fergie says he he most then i am with fergie

Tevez v Berbatov.
Berbatov,slow,lazy,prolific striker ? I don't think so.He's undoubtedly a talanted layer,skillful,great vision but he's not a United player.His contribution as a team player is very poor.
Tevez,Incredible work rate,commitment,skillful but like Berbatov not a prolific scorer for United.Tevez is a great example of how the game should be played,he puts his heart & soul into fighting for the cause.His passing ability & vision is as good as Berbatov,he works hard to close space when the opposition have the ball & he can tackle.
I would love to see Fergie play him in midfield,he has all the qualities to play the position & I'm certain he would score his fair shere of goals from midfield.
If he does leave United I hope he goes to a club where his passion & commitment is appreciated.He's given everything to the United cause in his short time at the club & will always hold a special place in the hearts of United supporters.

it's amazing how many manc fans on here say he aint worth 30 million but still think berbatov IS!!hmm i know which 1 of the 2 i would have in my side!!for example i can think of at least 2 matches that utd would have lost if it was not for tevez coming off the bench and replacing berbatovs mediocrity!aston villa match ring any bells?
By glenn.. Posted May 10 2009 at 8:05 AM.
just remember fergie is the best club manager in the world.so leave him to do what he does best.
By barrie cooper.. Posted May 10 2009 at 7:29 AM.
Tevez is overrated. Everyone slags berba who is miles better player. Tevez jst runs around in circles and cnt shoot pass beat a man nuff said
By Seb.. Posted May 10 2009 at 7:39 AM.
BOOOO Tevez, we are at an important stage of the season, things like this shouldnt come out now!!! glad let some other english team buy u for 40million and you can run around all you want!
U R BEING UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!!
lets use the money to buy someone who can give us 30 goals a season!
By dontliketeveznow.. Posted May 10 2009 at 7:49 AM.
I think Sir Alex is reluctant to buy Tevez because he is firstly regreting buying Berba who is another Veron. But should he pay the 30 million and united end up with always having a high profile striker on the bench, eventually one of them will get tired of rotating wont renew their contracts. Ultimately Sir Alex is looking at other options instead of spending big and counting loses.
By CHAMPSD.. Posted May 10 2009 at 7:47 AM.
The strongly rumoured take over of West ham by a foreign consortium including Tevez´s owner Kia Joorabchian at the end of this season could open the door to a surprise move back to Upton Park....
By Hammers Dave.. Posted May 10 2009 at 7:12 AM.
If you look at Manchester United players they never shy away from working hard and no one puts more into it than Carlos Tevez, I dont like Berbatov, he gives the team an unbalanced look, they play quick fire football until the ball lands at his feet, Tevez has a much quicker football brain. I would like to see Tevez team up with his Argentina countryman Lionel Messi at Barcelona.
By Steve.. Posted May 10 2009 at 7:11 AM.
Somewhat agree with Tajinder Singh, even if I like Tevez. Tevez is strange in the way that, sometimes I felt that he was average on the pitch (like giving you a feeling throughout that something was missed about him). But sometimes everything clicked for him and you could feel the greatness. That could be why some people said he was ordinary but some said he was top-class.
I feel that perhaps he indeed has the talent to be GREAT (if not how come he has won all the big trophies already over 2 continents i.e. South America and Europe? Fluke? But fluke never happens like this.) but somehow most of the time he couldn't unleash his potential. I feel that most of that answer lies in his mind i.e. it is all in his mind. Tevez should sort his mind out, relax a bit, then everything will click naturally for him.
Wish him all the best.
By Gorgor.. Posted May 10 2009 at 6:25 AM.
fergie has made a huge mistake, signing berba isnt a good business acoording to berba's quality...it would be better if he sign tevez permanently rather than signing sulky berba..
By herdyn.. Posted May 10 2009 at 4:58 AM.
Fergie does not like team affairs being discussed in the press while a player is still playing for the club. History speaks for itself his future a UTD is not looking good.
By brian ashford russell.. Posted May 10 2009 at 3:56 AM.
Overated alongside berbatov. He has had more chances than Darren day!!. Fergie is a wise and clever man. Football is not about treating people well, its about results and Tevez has not delivered he is a good player but so is park and look what he cost. He wont be sold in the uk either he will end up overseas.
By brian ashford russell.. Posted May 10 2009 at 3:53 AM.
You know what? There's more to this than meets the eye. We, the public, are only working on Tevez's side of the story.
He wants us to believe that Man Utd dont want him, because they're not finalizing the deal.
Well, have we heard the club's side of the story so far? Kia Joorabchian's? Why? We need them to come clean to the press o/w Tevez's side of the story is the only one we get to hear, and eventually, believe.
By Man U 4 Eva.. Posted May 10 2009 at 4:00 AM.
good player tevez but agree not worth 30 million and fergie should pull all the stops out too get benzema would be a great buy no matter how much he costs
By darren wood.. Posted May 10 2009 at 2:42 AM.
As likeable a character as Tevez is, or at least was before his recent monotonous cries to the press, he just hasn't made the contribution this season that can justify the ridiculously high price his 'owners' have placed on him.
The goal rate with/without Utd main attacking players says it all.
Overall the team have averaged a goal every 48 mins 57 secs
With Berba on the pitch, it's 1 every 45:43 of which he's scored 21%, without him it's 1 every 53:33
With CR on the pitch, it's 1 every 47:33 of which he's scored 30%, without him it's 1 every 52:52
With Rooney on the pitch, it's 1 every 48:18 of which he's scored 30%, without him it's 1 every 49:52
With Tevez on the pitch, it's 1 every 54:19 of which he's scored 22%, without him it's 1 every 43:11
When you consider that Tevez has more often played against the lesser opposition, then its even more damning.
Mins played is no excuse either as he's played 3,205 mins compared with 3,236 mins for Rooney and 3,063 mins for Berba (only Ronaldo of the four has had significantly more time on the pitch - 3,994)
There are simply better options available for that amount of money and SAF is unlikely to allow heart to overrule mind.
By zz.. Posted May 10 2009 at 2:36 AM.
if furgie dont wanna sign TEVEZ permenenly why he dont give Tevez more chane to proof that he is a top football who can play in any league and club,THIS IS A DISGRACE I fear for tevez this man wanna jeopadise hie career,Give him a first choice football so that other team can buy him,if he is always on the bench it will be hard foe club to sign him.,
real real disapointment
By manutd4life.. Posted May 10 2009 at 1:43 AM.
so if furgie dont wanna sign him then he should not bench tevez he should be playing contanly in first choice football.he lost his form not bacause he is not good because he is not playing regulary,he has proof himself last season.TEVAZ HAVE TO LAEVE MAN UTD,BECAUSE THIS MANAGER DONT WHAT HIM.AT ALL#
SIR ALEX I LIKE YOU BUT THE WAY U TREATING TEVEZ NOW REALLY MAKE ME NOT TO LIKE YOU,
By AIN.. Posted May 10 2009 at 1:51 AM.
Come to Anfield and join yer old mate Mascherano. If it peeves Fergie off, then thats good enough for me.
By Damo.. Posted May 10 2009 at 1:48 AM.
So easy you english fans forget what Tevez was before going to England. He is the only player to win CL and Copa Li. He was a better player than Rooney when he joined. He was better last year too. But now with him sidelined it is easy to judge.
He would do well at Chelsea/Liverpool/Inter. I would like Tevez to be recognized as the best footballer in the world. He can do that by going to those three clubs, who need a player like him to raise their quality.
By sk.. Posted May 10 2009 at 1:37 AM.
fergie knows what he is doing and tevez is ovverrated anyway. people have big mouths but fergie is the real deal.
By mark.. Posted May 10 2009 at 1:34 AM.
I would'nt pay more than £15m for Tevez. He is a decent player but lacks the killer Touch in front of Goal. Utd should spend £12m and go and sign Cameron Jerome from Birmingham City
