CARLOS TEVEZ was a divisive figure across Manchester with his spells at both Manchester City and Manchester United.
And one of his former teammates isn’t ashamed to say that he’s not his biggest fan either.
Former Red Devils right back Rafael spent two seasons playing alongside Tevez at Old Trafford and then clashed with him during a Manchester derby when the Argentine striker had swapped to the Blue side of the city.
And it’s safe to say that the Brazilian defender doesn’t hold many fond memories of his ex-colleague.
Now at South American outfit Botafogo, Rafael was reminiscing on his days in Manchester when talking to Sportv.
He said: “I’m not a fan of Tevez, not as a player, I’ve already had a fight with him.

“The game against City, he’d left United. I’ve never been a fan of his because Tevez liked to rubbish new players. I’m not ashamed to say, I don’t like him.”
Rafael went on to explain that the tenacious forward used to pick on younger players during his two year spell at Man Utd.
He said: “He did a lot to young players. He treated the youngsters badly at United.
“He was always very respectful, but he really picked on the youngsters there, so I never liked him.”
