Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez has made fresh claims that he expects to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.

Tevez is currently on loan at the club and no deal has been agreed to keep him in Manchester on a permanent basis.

The Argentinean told Madrid's Cadena COPE radio station: "It's true I've spent a lot of time on the bench and I'd like to play more. But every time I'm given a chance I do all I can to do well and take full advantage.

"Yes it's true I see myself more leaving United than staying here. I don't see why I should lie to people or anything because the fans support me a lot, as you can see. So I don't have any reason to lie to them.

"While I wear the United shirt, I will leave my life on the pitch. My future? I don't know what will happen for my future. I would like to go to Spain, yes, but I don't know yet. I have no preference for a team.

"With respect to the fans and the history of Manchester United, I don't want to leave the club. But, from a personal aspect, my exit will be the best solution.

"I need continuity in the team to offer my best. If this doesn't happen I believe this will be my last year," he added.
