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

okenwa. man u fan, lets play 3 attkers think it will help us this season, we r going down and i personaly d like it, fagie take note
i know for sure that tevez is going to liverpool my cousin is a premier manger im not joking to join up with mascherano
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!!
baybeechengcheng... was keane tall enough to be a midfield player? Gattuso? Enough said.
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.
oh stop whinging you muppets? who said fergie's finished, i've heared it all before.. instead of watching your sky tv and listening to muppets like andy gray, go and watch them live, you ain't seen nothing better... fergie - most successful manager EVER.
Shud let tevez replace giggs position...ronaldo right...carrick and owen play center mid...tevez can play LEFT winger !!!!!! he's too short for center mid...
james im a man utd fan but i av passed a vote of no confidence in sir alex. let another person take over. im not a prophet of doom but man utd wl find this season tough.
@#$% on teves u r the best in man utd squad pls drop the lazytov and pls play with teves n rooney and we could c man utd do the double again @#$% on the devils,and for the devils fans pls b behind our devils army and c them roaring gain viva man utd.Manchester United the best(Subbarao)(Malaysia)
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!
Tevez is a much better player than that @#$% Rooney!
tevez should leave bcos at times sir alex is confused on what 2 do. the way united is going defending the league wl be difficult.how can arsenal beat man utd.sir alex should retire bcos he is old. he has given his best 2 the club and he shudnt 4get the saying that "the best actor quits the stage when the ovation is the loudest"
@ glades... Lol at nani...he's a joke. The biggest waste of money so far. Anderson should always be a starter. No super-sub @#$%.
Berba is a lazy $hite. I'd have Tevez with Rooney anyday. Berba was overpriced and overrated and this is coming from a united supporter.
Why did United buy Berbatov? Obvious flop with a @#$% attitude.
tevez..you are good player.. its better if you leave united and try to find another team..dont ruin your career. please..
im hoping alex ferguson signs tevez like he said he would in the new year
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
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..
start with ron at lelt,rooney at the right and part teavez with lazytov...
berbatov = 1 league goal, please drop him. play tevez and man u will do double again.
