Carlos Tevez has revealed that he was once gifted a luxury car by Wayne Rooney.
The two strikers were together at Manchester United between 2007 and 2009 and Tevez had an interesting anecdote to share.
“At Manchester United training, players would turn up with a Ferrari or a Lamborghini,” he told ESPN.
“Everyone, even the worst player, would have a Ferrari.
“I turned up in the Audi that the club gave you and they all bugged me about it, as if it was a Fiat 600.
“I spoke to Rooney and, the crazy guy that he is, he told me ‘take the Lamborghini”.
“I went, without registering, around Manchester with this car, he gave it to me.”
Tevez went on the explain the connection he felt with the Englishman.
“I identified a lot with him because of where he came from, a poor area of Liverpool.
“He always fought for the ball as if it were his last, the same way I played.
“I saw myself reflected in him.”
