Carlos Tevez blames Sir Alex Ferguson for Manchester United's Champions League failure

30 June 2009 11:10
Tevez was left on the bench against Barcelona, as Ferguson chose to start with Cristiano Ronaldo, Park Ji-sung and Wayne Rooney in attack. The Argentine, who has since turned down United's contract offer, believes the limp 2-0 defeat against Barcelona would have been a different story had he started. "You cannot argue with Alex Ferguson," said Tevez. "He is like the president of England. It is impossible, you always lose. "But he made a mistake to leave me on the bench. That was the only final the team had lost since I had been at Manchester United." Tevez is expected to burn his bridges at United by signing for Manchester City for £25 million this week. But he insists he had little choice but to leave the champions. "My family knows how much I suffered at United. I could not arrive home after a match or a training session and forget my pain," he said. "It was not good and I transmitted all my sadness to them."
