Former Manchester United and Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has revealed that his controversial move to Manchester City in 2009 was motivated by "revenge" after Sir Alex Ferguson broke promises made to him during his time at Old Trafford.

Tevez, who spent two seasons on loan at United before joining their city rivals, made the comments in a recent interview reflecting on his career.

The Argentine forward claimed Ferguson had assured him of a permanent contract but ultimately did not follow through, prompting his decision to switch sides in the Manchester derby.
