Diego Maradona paid a visit to Carrington last week to check out Carlos Tevez ahead of selecting his team for the Argentina vs Scotland game. The new Argie boss was impressed with Tevez, although acknowledges that our striker is fearful over his future at the club.
Whilst I think he will certainly stay, we have to remember that Tevez is mindful of his place in his International team, something whch might be threatened if he’s not starting for United.
“Tevez is worried about not being in United’s first-choice team,” said Maradona. “He’s got a challenge ahead of him to win himself a place among lots of extremely good players, including Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov. But I saw he was in good shape and told him that the best way of showing his ability is to win the arm-wrestle against all the other players. Then he’ll give himself a good chance with the Argentine team. I believe in his ability and I know he features in Sir Alex Ferguson’s plans.”
i also hope that tevez does stay, he is a very important part to the team.
amazing bloke though he is , maradona really needs to understand when it is unwise to open his mouth . tevez , himself has iterated and re-iterated a hundred times that hes happy at united only for his national team coach to come out and say he’s not . what sense does it make to demoralise one’s own star player ?! its bad for united as well as argentina
agree with anant.. shut it maradona. as for tevez, we as supporters are all pulling for you. the man busts his out there for us and makes a marked difference in our game as soon as he steps on the pitch. fergie needs to sort it man. i understand giving berba time, but we need tevez out there – so maybe its time to give berba a little ride on the wood and tevez a starting role to shake things up a bit on the pitch again!
Actually, the real challenge belongs to SAF.
SAF has to figure out a formation/strategy that will enable him to field Tevez along with Rooney and Ronaldo and Berbatov.
Such a formation might not suit any one of these guys – in terms of individual preference – but it will surely make the team better to have the four best attackers on the pitch from the get-go. Plus, playing both Rooney and Tevez allows for some defence-from-the-front.
maradona has not said hes not happy anant.
dont worry guys its a long season, and im sure the little apache will get his share of games in the coming months. one thing is for sure, we will have 3 very fit, motivated strikers for the whole season, barring injury and suspension. there should be no tired legs so we,l have an advantage over the dippers who need torres playing regularly, despite only losing 1 of 3 or 4 without him. and also chelsea at this rate cos its gonna take drogba a while to get back playing if he keeps picking up injuries and getting suspended!

I LONG FOR THE DAY TO SEE THIS TEAM PLAYED BY FERGIE. IF HE WONT THEN I CERTAINLY WILL WHEN IM MANAGER OF UNITED
jsos and Anant .. What’s wrong with u why “shut it maradona” and “amazing bloke”? Just Because he knocked england out with a hand?.maradona didn’t say anything wrong or any offensive things to us or united.I didn’t hear him asking tevez to leave united. He is asking tevez to show united what he got to squezze right through to lst team. His words make lots of sense. which Top class players will not be worried when they are on the bench, image ronaldo or ferdinard on bench. Tevez is happy in united but certainly not 100% happy. I trust him he will stay in united and we will signed him. I believe that tevez knows that it hard for him to squeeze into lst team unless new football rules allowed 12 players per team or played tevez in 4-2-4 formation(vunerable). It is quite stupid to say tevez is 100% happy, u can’t read his mind. We don’t need too scold a legend for tevez to stay. Trust tevez.
