Carlos Tevez - 'I Have Not Been Respected'

The United striker says he feels a lot of pain at having to leave the club at the end of the season...



Despite reports of interest from Real Madrid, Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez has revealed that his future lies in the Premier League.

The Argentine has been on-loan with the Red Devils for the past two years, but his future is still far from certain.

The loan deal ends in the summer and Tevez was expected to sign a permanent deal with the club, but now he seems set to leave Old Trafford.

However, the 25-year-old has stated his desire to remain in the Premier League.

Speaking to TyC Sports, Tevez said, "My priority is to remain in the Premier League, because this is the most competitive league in the world, despite that I know that there is interest from Spain and Italy."

The former Boca Juniors and West Ham United striker has also spoken of his sadness at having to leave the club.

"Things have happened and, when the league ends, I will see where I go," he continued.

"I feel a lot of pain to have to leave Manchester United because of the fans. It's hard for me to accept this.

"Each day that goes by is more difficult for me, because I know that I am not going to play at the club anymore.

"They say to people that I am about to sign a new contract, but that never happens. I have not been respected.

"I have never asked [Sir Alex] Ferguson for an explanation, but a player notices when he is not part of a team anymore.

"I am surprised, but I am calm. You notice when you have to leave a club."
Tevez has made a total of 62 Premier League appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 19 goals.
