Man Utd striker Tevez: I’m very grateful to Sir Alex

Tevez said: “The help I’ve had from Alex has been very important. I know he has total belief in me and I’m very grateful to him because of it.

“He called me a lion. He’s started doing it at training because I turn up just after getting out of bed with my hair all messed up. And when my hair is like that, I look like a lion apparently!

“Sir Alex knows a lot about football and I’m learning a lot with him. He makes me feel relaxed and valued and he calls me by my first name.”
