Tevez also spoke about why he left United, sighting a breakdown in communication between himself and Ferguson.

The Manchester City striker told Loaded magazine: "I think I deserved more respect than what was shown."

The Argentinian said: "It was very strange. In the first year everything went very well - I was part of the team and felt like I was important to the coach and the club. But in the second, there was a big change.

"There was no communication with the manager and I began to feel as if I was not wanted.

"Every footballer will say that if they do not feel wanted, then it is the beginning of the end."
