Gloomy: Tevez arrived back at Carrington on Monday looking decidedly unhappy[LNB]'There is nothing to do in Manchester. There's two restaurants and everything's small. It rains all the time. You can't go anywhere. There comes a moment where you say "Where am I going to go with my family?" and you begin to feel bad.'Of course, one trains, plays, does things, and when the family or friends come one feels bad and you can't take them to the movies because they don't understand anything.' Good morning: Tevez hops out of the black Hummer as scheduled ready to train[LNB]When pressed on what was wrong with Manchester, Tevez said:'The weather, everything. It has nothing.'Asked what he would do at the end of his contract, Tevezsaid: 'I'm never going back to Manchester, not even on holiday, not foranything.' I'm back: Wearing a 'Tevez' grey sweater, the Argentine manages a slight smile[LNB]He added: 'I don't have any new friends. I am always with myfamily and lifelong friends. I don't even leave my house. I'm the stay-at-hometype.'Despite his return, City coach David Platt has revealedTevez is unlikely to play in City's opening league match at home to promotedSwansea. He's off again: Tevez appears to perk up as he leaves Carrington having a laugh[LNB]Platt told Sky Sports News: 'He has just finished the CopaAmerica and had three weeks off, which the players need. There's onlyeight-nine days before that game [against Swansea], I think it'll be tight. Happier days: Tevez celebrates scoring against Wolves in the League last season[LNB]'But Carlos is a strange one, in the sense he doesn't need alot of time to get back fit - so we'll see. Once he's back in the building,we'll look at things then.' CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR FREE FANTASY FOOTBALL GAMESecond class Citizens!
