Batistuta: Man Utd ace Tevez can become Argentina’s greatest player since Maradona

He said while speaking at the British launch of World Football Idol: “Carlito is definitely at the right club at the right time in his career.

“Playing alongside Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, he can achieve everything he wants.

“It is much better to be playing with other world-class players than just to be the best player in your side.

“At West Ham last season, Tevez did a brilliant job and helped the club to stay up. But he had to do a lot of the hard work on his own.

“At Manchester United, having players of the quality of Rooney, Ronaldo, Giggs, Vidic and Ferdinand to help him will make his life much easier.

“Don’t forget that Tevez is still quite young and has only been in Manchester for a few months.

“It will take him a bit more time to show everyone what he can really do. But he is already a fantastic, world-class talent and at his new club he has every tool required to become a true Argentine great.”
