Apparently Tevez doesn’t seem to like challenge! Hope I got it wrong, several newspaper quoted that Carlos Tevez claims he knew his days at Manchester United were numbered when Dimitar Berbatov joined the club.
The Argentina striker had decided to reject United’s offers of 5 years contract that will make him among the top earners at Old Trafford and the possibility of him playing at our fiercest rival – Liverpool is remote as he quoted it would a disrespect to Red Devils die hard fans, thus, the chances of him playing at Man City remains high with the next on list will be Chelsea.
And he felt Berbatov’s arrival from Tottenham last summer, which provided further competition for places up front, proved to him his future did not lie at United.
“I am not sure where I am going to play, but I know for sure that will not be at Manchester (United),” Tevez told TyC Sports television network.
“When I arrived I had to fight for a place like any other player. My first season was good. I was a starter or a substitute, but I respected that.
“But in my second year, after the match against Liverpool, the coach started to overlook me. The fans supported me a lot so I thought that something was going on as my performances were also good. I was a professional.
“I did not feel supported after they signed Berbatov, because I was the man for the job he was bought to do.
“Last year I was the second top-scorer after Cristiano (Ronaldo). We won two titles (the Barclays Premier League and the Carling Cup) and being shut out like this was something that I could not understand.”
Tevez added: “They did not ask me to sign the contract. Ferguson told me not be worried about Berbatov’s arrival, but I did not like it when he started to put me on the bench often. I gave my life for the Manchester United shirt.”
Nowadays, it seems very hard to find somebody like Solksjaer, Sheringham, Yorke and Cole. Collectively, these four former United’s forward played as a team force to United’s attacks, when Fergie found the right recipe between Yorke and Cole, our supersubs in Sheringham and Solksjaer never really complain about the situation and both of them fight hard to win back their places.
Notably, Teddy Sheringham whom himself was a first choice at Tottenham and so does when he came across to Old Trafford right before Dwight Yorke time. They just believe they were parts of the team, which is to fight for right to win the place in the first-eleven.
