There has been plenty of speculation concerning Carlos Tevez’s future, as the club have yet to seal the deal on his long term future.

Earlier in the week Sir Alex Ferguson reassured the fans that there was nothing to worry about, after speaking personally with the player to let him know what his position was.

“This season is proving more complicated than any other and it is difficult for me to get in the team,” said Tevez. “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.”
