Manchester United star Carlos Tevez has admitted he is tired after starring for Argentina in two World Cup qualifiers in the last week.

Tevez is expected to feature against Bolton Wanderers this weekend as Wayne Rooney is injured but is concerned that games against Bolivia and Colombia have left him fatigued.

"It has been very difficult to play here under the sun against Bolivia," he said.

"It tired me a lot because now I am used to playing all the time in the rain in England.

"Coming to Argentina and playing in such conditions killed me. I'm just starting to recover."

Meanwhile, Rooney is looking forward to reviving his partnership with Tevez, telling United's official website "Carlos is a really good player. He's very intelligent and links up the midfield and the forwards well.

"I've played a bit more like a traditional centre-forward, getting in behind defenders. I'm happy with that and I've been enjoying it.

"Some people say that my game is about dropping off the main striker, but I think playing right up is my best position."
