Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is remaining coy about the prospects of Carlos Tevez remaining at Old Trafford next season.

The 25-year-old Argentina international was quoted in several Sunday newspapers as saying he expected to leave the club this summer when his two-season loan spell comes to an end.

Tevez scored in Sunday's Manchester derby, after which Ferguson said: "I didn't read any of the papers. He's a Manchester United player. The fans love a trier and that's exactly what he is."

Tevez, who has scored 32 goals in 95 appearances for United, had earlier said: "I am very sad about this, but I guess what I'm saying is goodbye. I don't think I'll be a United player next season.

"I've done everything I possibly can, but they have never made me an offer or given me a contract.

"I have not been treated as a member of the family. The fans treat me like family, but United have not signed me, so they don't respect me as a footballer.

"I still have the same hunger and I will give my all to win the last two trophies we are chasing, so I can move on knowing I have done everything for the team.

"Things have changed dramatically this season. I was dropped but didn't perform badly. Sir Alex never gave me an explanation, but I never asked him for one because it is not in my character.

"It's not true my family are unhappy in England. It's not true I want to leave England for Spain. We want to stay.

"I want to play in England because it is the best League in the world and it suits my style."
