New Manchester City signing Carlos Tevez has revealed that his former club did not do enough to keep him.
The Argentine completed his move to the City of Manchester Stadium yesterday and said the reason he left is because Manchester United didn’t try hard enough to retain him.
"The fact that I am not staying at United is not because of the fans, it is because Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill did not do enough to keep me there. If it was down to the fans, I would still be there," Tevez said.
"I want to thank Manchester United, David Gill, Sir Alex Ferguson and the fanbase for a happy time there, but this is a new challenge and I am very happy to be at Manchester City.
"I was there for two years and Sir Alex never called or sent any text messages in that time," he added.
"The only time he talked to me was after a match against Roma to discuss a situation about going to play for Argentina.
"It doesn't seem that this is the way to treat a player in two years at the club. It doesn't seem there is a line of communication."
