Argentine committed to club
Carlos Tevez has insisted that he does not want to leave Manchester United, despite struggling to get in the side this season.
Dimitar Berbatov's arrival at Old Trafford at the end of the summer has increased competition for places up front.
Sir Alex Ferguson's preferred option in most games has been to pair Berbatov with Wayne Rooney, leaving Tevez on the substitutes' bench.
With Cristiano Ronaldo now fully fit as well, Tevez's future has been the subject of some speculation in recent weeks.
The Argentine striker has yet to sign a permanent contract and his two-year loan deal expires next summer, but he has spoken with Ferguson and informed the manager that he is fully committed to the club.
Complicated
He told the
Daily Mail: "This season is proving more complicated than any other and it is difficult for me to get in the team. The competition with Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov is intense.
"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. I want to play more and the coach knows this.
"But I have no problem with him. We have spoken. There is no way I would want to leave this club. I insist I am calm.
"I have confidence in the coach and he has in me. In this sport it is necessary to be patient and I will be."
