Having become a cult hero at United, Tevez went a long way to undoing that status by joining bitter rivals Man City
Tipped to become the new Maradona by the man himself, Tevez is a deadly finisher who can beat a man, lead the line, or pick out fellow strikers from deep.
The fast, elusive forward enjoyed successful spells with Boca Juniors of Argentina and Corinthians of Brazil, before dazzling at World Cup 2006.
He switched to West Ham following a protracted transfer saga, helping the Hammers to stay in the Premiership before moving to Old Trafford.
The Argentina striker made an immediate impression after arriving at United in August 2007, forming a tremendous understanding with Wayne Rooney and hitting 19 goals as United enjoyed domestic and European glory.
The arrival of Dimitar Berbatov in 2008 saw Tevez's first team chances limited, much to the player's distaste, and he moved across Manchester to join the City revolution in July 2009.
