Tevez unhappy with SAF comments

Manchester United ace Carlos Tevez has risked the wrath of Sir Alex Ferguson by reacting to the manager's comments over his contract situation.

Tevez: Wants his future sorted
Tevez: Wants his future sorted

On Sunday Tevez, 24, revealed his disappointment at speculation that he had rejected a new offer from the Premier League champions, and on Monday he reiterated his desire for his future to be sorted.

"I didn't like him (Ferguson) saying I didn't like the offer I was made because neither my agent nor me were given one," the Argentina international, whose deal runs out in the summer, told Radio del Plata.

"I don't know anything on my future. United know what they must pay if they want me to stay.

"I want to stay but the club have not made any offer. I've been waiting for them for a year and a half."

The ongoing saga has prompted reports that Tevez, who joined United from West Ham in 2007, is a target of Real Madrid, and the forward added: "If I have to quit the club, I want to quit on good terms."

"Now all clubs are on an equal footing. If a club comes to me and offers me a five-year deal, I will accept it for peace of mind.

"I will sign my last contract, and then I figure that I'll go back to Boca (Juniors.) That could be in four or five years."

"I want everybody to know no offer has been made. I don't like that they are playing with our fans, who show their love to me in each match."

"SAF will be making a big mistake if he lets Tevez go. Just like Rooney, Tevez is a strong forward and a fighter. He has always been very committed when fielded, a quality which I don't see in Berbatov yet. "

"32m back then was acceptable but not in the current market. United are trying to get the price down but will eventually sign him at any cost, they are a business and would be foolish to do anything different. As for Tevez being third choice at United, I don't believe that, we have a very talented front line and any two of three could start any one game, but not all three. United want Tevez and he wants United, simple."

"Tevez is better than berbatov"

"seems like the media trying to stir up some tension. He told skysport he wanted to stay because Fergie wanted him, these quotes seem twisted somewhat."

Caligula (Chelsea fan)

"Would be a good buy for Chelsea. We need a third striker. Kalou is a joke."

akshay (Liverpool fan)

"looks like he's going... maybe alex is right... no club would pay 32m(+4m in the loan deal making the transfer 36m) and more than 100k per week for a third choice striker who is not expected to play week in week out, even if the player is very good... maybe alex want to give welbeck and campbell a chance at the expense of tevez... u can never blame the manager... and don't forget tosic has just arrived who is also an offensive player..."

matsoko (Liverpool fan)

"Rafa Benitez...the door is open....we should have got him along with Masch with a cut price last time around...now its too late. With the current credit crunch...no way the American muppet would pay 32 mil and 100K week wages for Tevez...i rate this guy very highly......we should consider selling Pennant,Benayon, Aurelio and couple of fringe players to finance this guy.....if we want to be serious contender...we need players like Tevez and not Benayon, Aurelio, Pennant or even Robbie Keane to my mind."

manuars (Manchester United fan)

"He runs too much and also losses confident when not playing regularly. I think he should go. "
