Argentinean Legend, Diego Maradona, feels that Carlos Tevez is concerned about his future, not only at Manchester United but also for his country.
There are several rumors spread across Old Trafford, as Red Devil’s star forward continues to play for the club without security of new contract.
Right now, Argentinean forward is in his last year of loan deal from Media Sports Investments, which’s a 3rd-party company that owns his legal right. The worrying factor for Tevez is that there are doubts over whether the club is willing for forking out US$ 51 million required for securing his services permanently.
Recent acquisition of Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov has used up a huge portion of club’s transfer budget. At the same time, Berbatov’s presence has also created a strong competition to Tevez in the forward line.
Maradona, who is the current national coach of Argentina, is worried with the fact that limited first-team opportunities for Tevez can harm his chances of getting national call-ups in the future.
Maradona said, ‘I feel Tevez’s currently worried about not being in the first-choice team of United.’
‘He has a challenge ahead for winning a place amongst an extremely talented bunch of players, which include the likes of Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney.”
With the likes of Diego Milito, Lionel Messi, Ezequiel Lavezzi, German Denis and Sergio Aguero gunning for a place in the national side, lack of exposure might see Tevez plummeting down attacking hierarchy.
However, Maradona showed full faith in the ‘Apache’ and feels that he will make use of whatever opportunities he’s provided by the Red Devils. This spirit was even visible during the 4th round Carling Cup encounter, where he scored the only goal for United against QPR.
