'I will never go back to Manchester,' says City's Argentine star Carlos Tevez - on £286,000 a week

They chant his name, cheer his goals and pay him a wage said to be as high as £286,000 every week, so you might expect footballer Carlos Tevez to be grateful for everything he gets in Manchester. But the controversial Manchester City player has launched an astonishing attack on the city – where he was also worshipped by Manchester United fans – by saying it has nothing to offer and that when he leaves he will never go back.
The 27-year-old Argentinian, thought to be the highest-paid player in English football history, added that he would rather be in Marbella.
His comments came during a television interview broadcast in his home country Argentina. The player said he lived in a rented house in Manchester because there was no point buying there. Asked if it was the weather that made the city so bad, he told Susana Gimenez, the Argentine Oprah Winfrey: 'The weather, everything. It has nothing.' 'You can buy a holiday house in Marbella. But I'm never going back to Manchester, not even on holiday, not for anything. Of course I would buy a house in Marbella.' He went on: 'For example, in Marbella you can buy a house by the beach, relax there and later you can go there on holiday and everything. 'But a house in Manchester costs six or seven million pounds. It is better to rent.'
