Tevez wants to stay at Man Utd

Tevez has struggled with increased competition for places up front at Old Trafford this season, following the arrival of Dimitar Berbatov at the end of the summer.

He told the Daily Mail: “This season is proving more complicated than any other and it is difficult for me to get in the team. The competition with Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov is intense.

“This club have the most talented forward line in England and the manager has decided that we cannot all play in the team at the same time. I want to play more and the coach knows this.

“But I have no problem with him. We have spoken. There is no way I would want to leave this club. I insist I am calm.

“I have confidence in the coach and he has in me. In this sport it is necessary to be patient and I will be.”
