When the name Carlos Tevez pops up into your head, one of the things you don't dare associate with the young Argentinian striker is the bench. Yet unfortunately for him, that's what he's reverted to this season for Manchester United.
After being a key figure in United's run to the Champions League & Premiership League Title double, the off-season acquisition of Dimitar Berbatov and the stellar form Wayne Rooney has been in has benched the 24-year-old Argentinian.
Even though Tevez is on a two-year loan from West Ham United which expires next summer, he believes United is the place for him.
"This club have the most talented forward line in England and the manager has decided that we cannot all play in the team at the same time," said the former Boca Juniors standout to the Daily Mail, "I want to play more and the coach knows this."
Even though he longs for more playing time, Tevez insists he has no problem patiently waiting for his turn to come.
"But I have no problem with (Manchester United Manager Sir Alex Ferguson). We have spoken. There is no way I would want to leave this club. I insist I am calm."
If Tevez continues to start games on the bench, we'll see if his patience with Manchester United has its limits, especially with him knowing that Diego Maradona, the football legend turned Argentina coach, is scouting players for his player pool. Being on the bench would not make the best impression.
What do you think of Tevez's situation? Think he should leave Manchester United once his loan is over? Where do you think he would be a good fit? Share your comments below.
