The Argentine looks to have taken a step closer to the Old Trafford exit.
Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez has given his clearest indication yet that he is set to leave the club this summer.
The Argentine’s future has long been the subject of much discussion, with his two-year loan deal set to expire in the summer and with United appearing reluctant to sign him on a permanent basis.
Whilst both the club and the player have previously admitted they both want him to stay, speaking to the News of the World, Tevez has revealed that he feels he will leave the club at the end of the season.
"I do not feel wanted. I feel bad over my situation, I do, but it's very, very difficult to stay any longer. I guess what I'm saying is goodbye," he said.
"I don't think I will be a Manchester United player next season. I have done everything I possibly can but they have never made me an offer or given me a contract, so I have to leave. I don't think I deserve to be in this position but you realise if your time is up you have to go."
Tevez also insists that the club have shown him a lack of respect by failing to offer him a contract.
“Realistically, my time is over and I think I will be at another club next season. It's very, very difficult to stay any longer, so I have to finish this season the best I can and move on,” he explained.
“The fans treat me like family, but United have not signed me so they do not respect me as a footballer.”
Despite being repeatedly linked with a move to Spain, and with Real Madrid reportedly interested, the striker insists he is happy in England and wants to stay in the Premier League.
“It's not true my family are unhappy in England. It's not true I want to leave England for Spain. My four-year-old daughter Florencia is learning English and my wife is very happy living in England,” said Tevez.
“We want to stay. I want to play in England because it is the best league in the world and it suits my style.
“Any club I join, whether it be Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool or Everton, will be a rival of Manchester United. I would like to thank the United fans for their support. They will always have a special place in my heart.”
