Tevez champing at the bit
Carlos Tevez is ready to realise his dream of lining up for United
in Wednesday evening's trip to face Harry Redknapp's
Portsmouth.
The Reds travel to Fratton Park shorn of the injured Wayne Rooney,
and certain to start with Tevez as the focal point in attack.
After finally completing his protracted transfer to Old Trafford
last week, the Argentine is delighted to be able to concentrate on
actually playing football again.
"I feel a wonderful amount of relief now to actually be here at
Manchester United," he told MUTV. "I'm now getting myself prepared
for the games that are coming up.
"It is a dream to wear the Manchester United shirt and it will also
be a dream to win the title which we will all be working for this
season."
While South American imports have enjoyed varying degrees of
success at Old Trafford, Tevez feels his exploits at West Ham last
season will stand him in good stead.
"I feel like I have grown a lot, particularly with a year at West
Ham," said the 23-year-old. "I think every different club in
football you are with, be it in Italy, Spain or Brazil, you learn
different things and you try to take things from each club.
"It is a huge learning curve but I feel I have grown as a player
now I'm just getting ready to play for Manchester United.
"It's very important to be happy myself but also to be able to make
the people who support Manchester United happy."
