Tevez: Berba deal saw me off

Former Man Utd striker Carlos Tevez has revealed that the introduction of Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham last summer was an indication that his future hung in the balance at Old Trafford.

Carlos Tevez is now set to be heading for a move elsewhere, believed to be either Chelsea or Manchester City.

''I am not sure where I am going to play, but I know for sure that will not be at Manchester (United),'' Tevez told TyC Sports television network.

''When I arrived I had to fight for a place like any other player. My first season was good. I was a starter or a substitute, but I respected that.

''But in my second year, after the match against Liverpool, the coach started to overlook me. The fans supported me a lot so I thought that something was going on as my performances were also good. I was a professional.

''I did not feel supported after they signed Berbatov, because I was the man for the job he was bought to do.

''Last year I was the second top-scorer after Cristiano (Ronaldo). We won two titles (the Premier League and the Carling Cup) and being shut out like this was something that I could not understand.''
