Pre
Match Press Highlights |
Joorabchian On Carlos Tevez
"It's very hard to predict," said Joorabchian. "It's
football. Things change by the minute, by the hour. It's not
a no. You never know.
"All Carlos said in the interview was that it was not true,
he has not rejected an offer from Manchester United, he has
not made crazy demands.
"Carlos has never made an issue or a problem. He doesn't
have a problem at all with Sir Alex. He's never had a fight
with Sir Alex or any arguments." |
