Manchester United’s Argentinean star Carlos Tevez has admitted it’s probable he will be leaving United in the summer. The 25-year-old has said he needs to be playing regular team football and wants to be selected for big Premier League clashes.
The Argentinean forward has started half of United’s Premier League games this season, with a total of only 31 starts in all competitions and thirteen appearances from the bench, being a second string to Wayne Rooney and Berbatov.
Tevez has said: “Even if you score three or four goals, you do not play in another game. There are many very good players, but I need to play. I have trained every day and never said anything against my team-mates or anyone, but it is true that there are other options for next season.
“There are many players and they all need to play but I have not lost my place because of what I did when I played. I have not played in important matches.
“The ‘clasico’ against Chelsea, I did not play. Those are the games that I like to play in.”

After winning the champions league last season with United, Tevez was suddenly made the scapegoat for Berbatov’s arrival. The sooner he leaves the better. I hope a team like Arsenal or a team from Spain can pick him up. He is simply too good to just be sitting on the bench. And it does not appear that United will start him any time soon. Its a shame really because he was developing a wonderful combination with Wayne Rooney prior to Berbatov’s arrival.

Personally, I’d like to see back at West Ham, where he was sensational. He’d be guaranteed a start every time there!
Probably a faint hope though….
