Tevez: 'Too many big egos at Man Utd'

Juventus striker Carlos Tevez has revealed that he never felt settled at Manchester United because there were too many "big egos" in the team.

The Argentina international spent two years at Old Trafford before joining local rivals Manchester City in 2009.

The 31-year-old's career at City came to an end four years later following his controversial decision to refuse to warm up for then-manager Roberto Mancini during a Champions League tie with Bayern Munich in 2011.

When asked by El Pais if he ever felt at home in England, Tevez said: "Not really at Manchester United because there were so many big egos there. At City I did, but I made a mistake and paid for it. I considered quitting football."

Tevez currently plies his trade in Italy for Juventus.
