Carlos Tevez has said he thinks he will leave
Manchester United in the summer.

"I am very sad about this but I guess what I'm saying is
goodbye," the striker told the News of the World.
"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."

Tevez joined United in the 2007 close-season on a two-year loan
deal which ends this summer.
His first English club was West Ham and he became a free agent
when his agent Kia Joorabchian paid the Hammers a £2m
settlement.
Tevez said he is still committed to helping United this season,
despite not holding down a regular place in the side, adding: "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."
The Argentine international said he would not rule out moving to
one of United's Premier League rivals at the end of the season.
"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 is learning English and my wife is
very happy living in England.
"We want to stay. I want to play in England because it is the
best League in the world and it suits my style.
"I would like to thank the United fans for their support. They
will always have a special place in my heart.
"If I was a United fan I wouldn't want to see their player in
any other shirt but I think they will accept I've done everything I
can."
