Premier League - Tevez fears for United future

Eurosport - Thu, 13 Nov 10:27:00 2008

Carlos Tevez fears for his Manchester United future, according to Argentina manager Diego Maradona.

2008-2009 Carling Cup Manchester United-QPR Carlos Tevez - 0

Tevez has only started four Premier League games this season as Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov have emerged as Sir Alex Ferguson's preferred strike partnership.

Maradona travelled to United's Carrington training ground last week to see Tevez and said: "Tevez is worried about not being in United's first choice team.

"He's got a challenge ahead of him to win himself a place among lots of extremely good players, including Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov.

"But I saw he was in good shape and told him that the best way of showing his ability is to win the arm-wrestle against all the other players.

"Then he'll give himself a good chance with the Argentine team."

Tevez has reportedly emerged as a January transfer target for Real Madrid, as he is still on loan at Old Trafford and has not been signed outright.

Real have so far failed in their long-running pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo but are now thought to want Tevez, as their leading striker Ruud van Nistelrooy - himself a United old boy - is out for at least two months through injury.

  3. Tevez should leave manu..for his own good..Real and­ manu just have more than req. strikers always..they­ spoil the quality of subs.and they dont trust their­ players..If they keep performing all the time everythn­ is fyn..but they dont trust the players wen they are a­ bit off color..this spoils futbal too...Clubs like­ arsenal, keep the spirit of futbal alive...TRUST THE­ PLAYERS!!!!! iT WONT BE SOON BEFORE RONALDO GET'S­ DUMPED OUT OF ENGLAND!!
    He cant play well forever, wen­ he does not play well..manu will dump him..4 SURE..THAT­ TIME NO ONE WILL BE THERE TU BUY HIM!!

  5. All you 'So-Called' Man Utd supporters that are­ saying Ferguson is past it need to fill their large­ mouths with pure alcohol and light a match.

  10. ademolashi2 that is what everyone said when Jose was­ managing chelsea. Since then they have won back to back­ league titles and the champions league. You can't­ be sitting pretty on top of the league all the time!

    From James, on Thu 13 Nov 3:54PM
  11. Tevez is a much better player than that @#$% Rooney!

    From Cordell, on Thu 13 Nov 3:49PM
  12. tevez should leave bcos at times sir alex is confused­ on what 2 do. the way united is going defending the­ league wl be difficult.how can arsenal beat man utd.sir­ alex should retire bcos he is old. he has given his­ best 2 the club and he shudnt 4get the saying that­ "the best actor quits the stage when the ovation­ is the loudest"

    From ademolashi2, on Thu 13 Nov 3:49PM
  13. @ glades... Lol at nani...he's a joke. The biggest­ waste of money so far. Anderson should always be a­ starter. No super-sub @#$%.

    Berba is a lazy $hite.­ I'd have Tevez with Rooney anyday. Berba was­ overpriced and overrated and this is coming from a­ united supporter.

    From David J, on Thu 13 Nov 3:46PM
  14. Why did United buy Berbatov? Obvious flop with a @#$%­ attitude.

    From manu0862, on Thu 13 Nov 3:29PM
  15. tevez..you are good player.. its better if you leave­ united and try to find another team..dont ruin your­ career. please..

    From Del Reds Piero, on Thu 13 Nov 3:10PM
  16. im hoping alex ferguson signs tevez like he said he­ would in the new year

    From Paul T, on Thu 13 Nov 3:08PM
  17. I think Sir Alex could definately play all three­ strikers in the starting XI. Is it just me or does­ anyone else think Tevez is similar to Scholes? Tevez­ can pick a pass.. he can finish.. and he has a better­ timed tackle than Scholesy. Why not play him as an­ attacking centre midfielder??!! He's a work horse­ and would be great in the middle of the park. Tevez­ and Carrick in the middle, flanked by Ronnie and Giggsy­ on the wings. With Rooney and Berbs up front... Now­ that's a team! Any thoughts??? James

    From Natraj, on Thu 13 Nov 2:59PM
  18. for me.. united perfect first lie-up.. van der sar,­ rafael or brown, vidic, ferdinand, evra, nani, carrick,­ ronaldo, rooney, berbatov, tevez.. super sub:­ anderson.. agree..?? man u please play with 4-3-3­ formations. it will help united to win the tittle­ again..

    From glades701, on Thu 13 Nov 2:49PM
  19. start with ron at lelt,rooney at the right and part­ teavez with lazytov...

    From backbone_86, on Thu 13 Nov 2:47PM
  20. berbatov = 1 league goal, please drop him. play tevez­ and man u will do double again.
