Carlos Tevez has accused Sir Alex Ferguson of blowing the chance to win the Champions League Final by dropping him.
The Argentina marksman - whose United contract expires today - is poised to sign a five-year deal with Manchester rivals City this week in a £25million swoop.
"You cannot argue with Alex Ferguson," said Tevez. "He is like the president of England. It is impossible, you always lose.
"But he made a mistake to leave me on the bench. That was the only final the team had lost since I had been at Manchester United."
Upset at being frozen out by the arrival last summer of Dimitar Berbatov, Tevez rejected the offer of a new deal to stay at Old Trafford.
He added: "My family knows how much I suffered at United. I could not arrive home after a match or a training session and forget my pain. It was not good and I transmitted all my sadness to them."
Luis Antonio Valencia will complete his £16m move to Manchester United today, taking over Cristiano Ronaldo's old No.7 shirt.
Valencia passed a medical yesterday and will sign a four-year contract worth £75,000-a-week following his move from Wigan.
What Do You Think Of Tevez Now???
Sorry to see Tevez go but he had a chance to stay and going for the bigger money instead.
Carlito,it's time to move on.Shut up and looking forward to playing against you in the Manchester derby.You said you didn't want to join Liverpool for respect to the fans.So what do you do?Possibly going to our enemy,City.Yea right!I suppose loyalty and not big money will make up your mind..
Good luck to Valencia.He's quick and skilful.Hopefully he will start to get a few more goals,now that he's playing with great players.
Benzema might be coming also.Time will tell.
He has also came out and said he will come and score at Old Trafford and not celebrate in front of the fans but scream at Sir Alex?What a dick.Owen is now looking an even better replacement for him and we now have two exciting new signings and havent even touched the money from the sale of Ron.Teves played in 51 games for us last season!Does he think he will play more than that for the berties?Fact is they wont have 51 fixtures in their season as they are not in Europe!!Will that make him feel unloved too?.

Yea just heard that
thats crazy
he must really of hated it here ha
Teves has said Utd fans would forgive him if he joins Ciddy? 'United fans have to remember that,at least as far as i know,i was thrown out of the club and i have to study the best offers' he is quoted as saying?.What is he on about?he was 'Thrown out of the club' Utd offered £25 million for him and wages of £100,000 a week!!!.Utd did withdraw their offer after HE turned it down?Maybe he wanted Sir Alex to come begging?.He was a good player for us but i am now starting to look at him in a different light?.Yes,he did do a lot of chasing the ball down and this was very pleasing to us,the fans because it showed him making a real effort and his commitment to the cause?.But a lot of the time it was him who lost the ball in the first place?.When he was running back to win the ball and sometimes did on the half way line,we were then a man short up front?.He did score a couple of cracking goals for us and i was gutted when he didnt sign.He said he used to go home after matches in tears and only his family knew what he was going through?.Whats all that about?.
I think now that the negative energys of Teves and Ronaldo have gone from the dressing room that the team will really pull together and we will see the best of Rooney,Berb etc.We won the European Cup last year and the league but the 'will he stay,will he go'(Ronaldo)saga all last Summer ruined the celebrations for me.
We have none of that now and the club i feel is refreshed because of it.I cannot remember a season that i am looking forward too as much as i am this one?We might of lost two of our top players but ultimately we might now see the best coming out of our team.
Oh come on.. Tevez is a whiny prat.. We are wayy better off without him...
he scored some good goals for us but most of time he was running like a headless chicken on the pitch goin back and forward and collecting yellow cards... berba is much wiser and more talented than him...........well he left man utd for man shitty LOL what a dumba*s GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED
Tevez was a good player and I admired him but I think he is now talking out of his a*** because he is now being payed alot more.
