He went on to form a fierce attacking trio with Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney as he found the back of the net 34 times in 99 appearances for the Red Devils.

Tevez claimed that he would see the “worst player” at United turn up to the club in a Ferrari while he drove an Audi supplied by the Red Devils.

He narrated how Rooney gifted him a Lamborghini:

Tevez told ESPN:

“At Manchester United training, players would turn up with a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.
“Everyone, even the worst player, would have a Ferrari. I turned up in the Audi that the club gave you and they all bugged me about it, as if it was a Fiat 600.
“I spoke to Rooney and, the crazy guy that he is, he told me ‘take the Lamborghini.’ I went, without registering, around Manchester with this car, he gave it to me.”

Tevez went on to capture a Premier League title and an FA Cup at City before signing for Juventus in 2013.
